Mate,

Trust me, I like pushing as much responsibility as possible onto the
hands of the list manager. However, when I witnessed firsthand the
archive devastation caused by three lousy messages accidentally
misdated November 1999 on a major list, I became convinced to use
Received: sorting as the default.

>x-archive-with-date/date/received

Oh, I didn't realize it was quite that easy, but I guess you are right
(I just re-read the manual). Let's try that! I just put in the
configuration change now. The default date determining header is now
x-archive-with-date:received:date

Please try with a single test message and tell me if it works. If it
works, let's spend a couple of days checking if there is a slightly
more standardized header than x-archive-with-date; and then go ahead
with the import.

I didn't quite follow your comments about command addresses and EZMLM.
If you feel this is potentially a better solution, could you please
give an example?

Jeff

PS. The activity logs are all at http://jab.org/admin if you
want to watch what is going on as you test things out. (Yes, I know
linux-kernel's archive is producing an error right now...)
