And yes, they all have the same timestamp in the archives. Let me try re-running the arch command with the 2009-August* files removed.... Odd. I had to manually create the 2009-August directory, but the problem is still there. :-/ (I did bin/arch (listname)) Thanks, Mark! --Glenn ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 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://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
