What are you looking at that has the properly escaped >From_?

You never answered the questions I asked (see
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-August/058047.html>).

However, there should be an archives/private/ffml.mbox/ffml.mbox file
which contains all posts to the ffml list. Look at that file and see
if the From_ line in the body of the Fri Jul 6 00:13:27 PDT 2007
Happosai's Life of DOOM #6 post is escaped with a leading '>' or not.
It should be.

If it is and if

bin/cleanarch -n < archives/private/ffml.mbox/ffml.mbox

doesn't report any problems, then

bin/arch --wipe ffml

should rebuild the archive.

If there are problems with the ffml.mbox file, then you can run

bin/cleanarch < archives/private/ffml.mbox/ffml.mbox > tmpfile
mv tmpfile archives/private/ffml.mbox/ffml.mbox

before running bin/arch as above.

If there are problems, then I think you must somehow have the wrong
python email library. Refer to the questions in my above referenced
reply to your original post.
