My understanding is that this copy is just to make it easy for people to download a compressed archive of the mbox file. See: GZIP_ARCHIVE_TXT_FILES = No in Defaults.py So you sould see if GZIP_ARCHIVE_TXT_FILES is set in mm_cfg.py. After disabling that, I think you should just be able to remove the .gz files. w ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
