You don't see a web archive because you haven't added any messages. the "Pickling archive state into ..." message is the last message from bin/arch. Had it done anything, that would have been preceeded by many other messages. > How can I convert these emails to mailman? The messages need to be in a unix like mbox format file. This means the first line of each message should be a From_ separator, I.e. a line like From u...@example.com Wed May 19 16:33:42 2010 Followed by message headers which should at least include From:, Subject: and Date: followed by an empty line and then the plain text message as in From u...@example.com Wed May 19 16:33:42 2010 From: Jane User<u...@example.com> Date: Wed, 19 May 2010 16:33:42 -0700 Subject: An example Some message body text and more and more ... and then the next message in the same format and so on. If your messages have headers, you may only need to add the From_ lines at the beginning of each message or you may need to employ some other process to generate a mbox file from the majordomo archive. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
