It took a little while to figure out, but I believe I've gotten everything straightened out. It looks like my complication was the fact that cleararch had been run on my current version of older.mbox, but no when it was originally added to the archives. I found the original file and everything lines up. Thanks for getting me this far. Older.mbox contains 1512 messages, five of which contain unescaped lines starting with "From ". What's the best way to escape those lines and preserve archive order? Is it as simple as escaping the line and adding an empty "From " immediately after the containing message? -- Matthew Needham The HDF Group 1800 South Oak Street, Suite 203 Champaign, IL 61820 217-531-6110 mneed...@hdfgroup.org ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
