It did work, but I noticed that cleanarch complained about the new lines. I was a little concerned that a future admin would notice the warnings and "fix" them in a way that broke the archives, so I inserted lines like this: From nob...@hdfgroup.org Thu May 31 00:00:00 2007 Date: Thu May 31 00:00:00 2007 That placed the five empty messages at the very beginning of the archives where they're least likely to bother anyone. This is better than the previous location at the end of the archives, and much better than the previous problem with missing content after the unescaped From. With these changes, a fixed, reordered, and consolidated mbox, and a readme file to inform any future admins, I hope this problem won't return.
