I am running 2.1b2 (not sure about that "+" part) and am able to reliably reproduce the problem. Any message that has a "Message-Id:" header instead of "Message-ID:" will fail to import. The arch program doesn't in itself give very detailed diagnostics, but I have added some error tracing. The error is detected in Mailman/Archiver/pipermail.py at about line 550. It is actually occuring in the next() method of the mbox object. I'm not a Python programmer (most of my work is in PHP, Java, and C), and since there was such an easy workaround I haven't pursued it further than that. What I can tell you is that if I do the global search and replace mentioned above, it fixes the problem reliably, so long as this is the *only* problem with the messages under test. The other problems, however, are fixed by my awk script. There are certain multipart/alternative messages that just don't go, period. In my case, I looked at them individually and made a conscious decision that I didn't care, and threw them away. That's not a generalized solution, but it worked for me since such messages are extremely rare (about 0.05%) in my datasets. I'll be glad to work with you in resolving this issue; I am not sure what other specific information you might want, but I will be glad to provide whatever info you need, if I can obtain it.
