bin/arch will probably do it. I would do the following steps. First bin/cleanarch < eudora.mbx > temp.mbox Then it depends on whether or not there are existing Mailman archives for the list, and if so, whether it is important to preserve the existing message numbers in this archive. Basically, you want to concatenate the existing archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file if any and the temp.mbox created above. If preserving message numbers is not a priority, it is best to do cat temp.mbox archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox > temp2.mbox cp temp2.mbox archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox which will leave archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox in cronological sequence, but if you want to preserve message numbers, you need to add temp.mbox to the end. In either case, you then do bin/arch --wipe listname to totally rebuild the Pipermail archive from the default archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox. You could just do the first step above and then do bin/arch listname temp.mbox To add the messages in temp.mbox to the existing listname Pipermail archive, but then you have the archive split between two mbox files which makes searching and subsequent rebuilding awkward. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
