I was asking about this recently (never had the time to try it out): So you are saying that arch can be fed let's say weekly or monthly mbox files and it will correctly generate the archive? I've considered doing this on setups where I can't afford to run arch for every single message posted (and delay qrunner as a result), but where I should be able to run it for batches of messages once a night (strace has shown me that arch is very slow at editing the huge HTML pages to add one message at the bottom, but my hope is that if you add a batch, it does not incrementally add the messages one per one) Marc -- Microsoft is to operating systems & security .... .... what McDonalds is to gourmet cooking Home page: http://marc.merlins.org/ | Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP key ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users
