There are redirects from the old listinfo URL to the new one, so that should work for the time being. I just do not want to spread any more links to the old URLs. > If the cumulative archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox has not > been manually modified, and it contains no spurious unescaped "^From " > lines in message bodies (see bin/cleanarch and maybe > <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/check_arch>), rebuilding the archive > with 'bin/arch --wipe' should not change the archived message numbers. Thank you for the hint. I checked that the mbox file itself is clean. However, with the help of the check_arch script I could determine that the mbox contains mails without corresponding HTML output files in the archive. That caused the sequence numbers in the mbox and the HTML files to be out of sync. As I took this over from others and this happened years ago without anyone noticing, I have no idea what went wrong at this point. Based on this I will keep the old (corrupted) archive as a read-only copy at a different URL, with redirects from the old archive URLs pointing to this. Then I can start fresh with a proper archive from the existing mbox files. Thank you for the assistance, Rainer ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org https://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: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
