Just need the time to do it (or a volunteer). I think writing a program to do the conversion is pretty simple. I can do it myself. The only thing I need to know is the exact mbox format which Mailman uses. Check out: http://www.qmail.org/man/man5/mbox.html There seem to be mboxo, mboxrd, mboxcl, mboxcl2, etc. The only thing they're different at is encoding the "\nFrom .*" lines inside messages. If you can figure out exactly which format Mailman uses, I can build a simple program to do the job. ------------- Ehsan Akhgari List Owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] [ WWW: http://www.beginthread.com/Ehsan ] Every deep thinker is more afraid of being understood than of being misunderstood. The latter perhaps wounds his vanity, but the former wounds his heart, his sympathy, which always says: "Ah, why would you also have as hard a time of it as I have?" -Beyond Good And Evil, F. W.
