Hi,

we recently needed to rebuild a rather old list archive. The oldest mails are from 2001, and as far as I could tell the last complete rebuild happened in 2005. When we ran "arch --wipe" now, it failed:

Aktualisiere HTML f?r Artikel 1412
Schreibe Archivzustand in Datei /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/linux-users/pipermail.pck
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./arch", line 201, in <module>
    main()

    a = self._makeArticle(m, self.sequence)

    mlist=self.maillist)

    self._set_date(message)

    self.fromdate = time.ctime(int(self.date))
ValueError: timestamp out of range for platform time_t

Obviously the mails that caused this error were broken, but a previous version of arch was able to build the archive regardless. I wrote the following patch to work around the problem (I wrote it for 2.1.18, but I checked that the code looks the same in 2.1.21):

    def loadbody_fromHTML(self,fileobj):
        self.body = []

If an exception is caught, the date is simply set to the current time.
