>From what I read from the ezmlm(5) manpage, the following example
command will process all messages of list (using the pathname example
you gave),
mhonarc /list/archive/[0-9]*
(assuming you are using a shell that supports the following file glob
pattern).
Basically, each numeric subdirectory in the "archive" directory
follows the same format as MH mail directories.
If you are using a shell that cannot handle "[0-9]*", the following
should work:
mhonarc `find /list/archive -type d -name '[0-9]*' -print`
Drop a note if you get something to work. I can add ezmlm archive
support to the docs/FAQ.
