If as you imply below, you've already run bin/arch --wipe in the recent past, then you've already reneumbered the archive, so don't worry about doing it again. >> An alternative alternative is to just remove 2009-August/, >> 2009-August.txt and 2009-August.txt.gz (if any) from >> archives/private/listname/ and then run bin/arch (without --wipe) with >> input just consisting of the Aug, 1999 portion of listname.mbox. >> >Ooh.

However, if you've actually done "bin/arch --wipe (listname)" and wound up with those strange no-subject messages in the current month, there is either a problem with bin/arch or with the listname.mbox.
