I don't know if 2.0.13 has a bin/arch tool with the same function as the one in 2.1.x, but if it does, you could just try bin/arch --wipe mylist to rebuild the archive from mylist.mbox. It might work, but it might fail the same way that individual archiving has failed since August 2003. My guess is that there is something in mylist.mbox in the message following the last archived message from Aug 2003 that is causing the problem. See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp If bin/arch doesn't fix it on it's own, you'll have to find the problem in mylist.mbox and "correct" that as explained in the FAQ. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
