What I did with several lists for which I imported archives from prior versions of the list is this. The current mbox for the Mailman list is <list>.mbox/<list>.mbox. In addition there are older, imported archives in files in the same <list>.mbox/ directory named <list>.mbox/<list>-topica.mbox and <list>.mbox/<list>-yahoo.mbox. Then there are instructions in a Wiki detailing the archive rebuilding process and processing order. With any luck, whoever has to rebuild the archive will refer to the Wiki. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
