This won't work. You need to edit the mbox file, which is in ~mailman/archives/private/listname.mbox - not the same as the per-month folders. Deleting per-month folders and the monthly archives won't work. They're re-created from the the mbox file. The mbox file is a single large file containing all the posts to the list. It's a classic Unix format mail file in which each message is delimited with a "From address" line where From has no colon after it, as distinguished from the "From: address" body headers. You will need to delete messages starting with a From line and ending with the line just before the From line on any message not deleted. Then run arch --wipe listname and you'll get what you expect. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | <http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org 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
