It is the top level page in a list's archive. E.g. for this list, the page at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/> which would also be the file archives/private/mailman-users/index.html. >>The [ Gzip'd Text xx KB ] link is to the 2010-April.txt.gz file if >>there is one. >I don't have any .gz files. OK. The good news is they're not taking up space. The bad news is you can't recover space by removing them. >I have another question.

The names are similar, but the content's are different. archives/private/mailman/ is the archive of posts to the 'mailman' site list and archives/private/<listname>/ is the archive of posts to the <listname> list. Every list's archive has the same structure, but the contents of the files are different. If the archive of your site (mailman) list is large, you might consider not archiving that list, i.e., set Archiving Options -> archive to No. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
