If these '.archive' files are in *nix mbox format, they can be used directly. Otherwise they first need to be converted to mbox format - i.e., flat text files containing raw messages separated by 'From ' lines. If, for example, you have a new Mailman list named mmlist, you can copy such an archive file to archives/private/mmlist.mbox/mmlist.mbox and then run bin/arch --wipe mmlist To create pipermail archives from the old mbox. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
