See 2. >2) Can't I just regenerate Archives if we need them? This is the recommended thing. Just copy the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox files and run 'bin/arch --wipe' to regenerate the pipermail archive. >3) Since Archives are just a set of folders, can I just right a script >to selectively copy newer items based on date?? It's tricky in that that won't remove the old entries from archives/private/LISTNAME/index.html, and even if you manually edit this file, the information is in archives/private/LISTNAME/pipermail.pck file and the removed entries will return. It's much better to remove the unwanted messages from the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file and run 'bin/arch --wipe' to regenerate the pipermail archive. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/2YA9> for links to a pruning script. See the first two paragraphs of the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/2oA9> for info on moving lists. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
