As Brad said, with list archiving turned off, Mailman doesn't permanently save the messages anywhere. Mailman doesn't have them, except for a possible few that might be in lists/<listname>/digest.mbox awaiting the next digest. So, first you need to get the messages to be archived. If you are really lucky, perhaps some list recipient has saved all the lost posts in a single mailbox/mail folder already. In any case, you need to get all the messages with as close as possible to the original headers and mime structure, and get them in a single *nix mbox format file. Then, check the From separators and the possible presence of unescaped From_ lines in message bodies with Mailman's bin/cleanarch. Then, after you're satisfied you have a good mbox containing all the missing messages, you can add them to the archive with bin/arch listname /path/to/mbox You should also stop mailman and append the mbox to archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox so if you ever need to use that file, it will be complete. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
