I looked at the posts in that thread, and as you, I see nothing about how it was done. Further, I don't see how this can be done in Defaults.py/mm_cfg.py short of some very complex 'patch the archiver on the fly' kind of coding if it can be done at all. Are you talking about just the various date sequence index (date.html) files or do you also want the messages for each author in the author index, the messages for each subject in the subject index and the threads in the thread index also in reverse? For threads, you would presumably want them ordered by the date of the most recent post in the thread. The pipermail archiver is the most difficult code in all of Mailman 2.1 to understand and follow. It may be possible to accomplish this, and the ultimate patch might be simple, but I don't think it would be too easy to figure it out. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
