I'm resending this mail to the list as I managed to send it to Mark only yesterday... :-(

Yes, that worked, thanks a lot. For future reference, here is the procedure I used: 1. Copy the mailman mbox file to a temporary location. 2. Using mutt, save the missing messages to an external file, one file per message. 3. For every message file: /usr/lib/mailman/bin/inject -l <listname> -q news <filename>. Et voilà, the missing messages appear on the NNTP server. If anyone knows of a tool to simplify step 2 (extract a bunch of messages from a given mbox file into individual files), I would be glad to hear it.
