That's an artifact of the date-correction routines in the pipermail archiving system that was integrated into Mailman. I've got an item on the request list to move the date correction routines into Mailman itself, right after message reception. That way the messages get corrected once on input and then never need to get corrected again, and you don't wind up with the situation that you have now. I don't know that there's any way to fix this problem with the current code, short of going in and manually editing the raw mailbox to correct the date header (and any other headers that need fixing), and then completely re-generating your archives. -- Brad Knowles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Consultant & Author Co-author of SAGE Booklet #15 "Internet Postmaster: Duties and Responsibilities" Founding Member and Platinum Individual Sponsor of LOPSA: <http://www.lopsa.org> Papers: <http://tinyurl.com/tj6q4> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
