I think there are two ways to handle this. Both involve making a copy of archives/private/oldlist.mbox/oldlist.mbox and editing it (or perhaps opening it with mutt or similar) and deleting those messages you don't want available on newlist. So you end up with a mailbox with only those posts you want available to newlist. Then, if there haven't yet been any posts to newlist, just save that mailbox as archives/private/newlist.mbox/newlist.mbox making sure it's group is the mailman group, and run 'bin/arch --wipe newlist' to seed the newlist archive with the old posts. Or, if there have been posts to newlist, combine the mailbox with archives/private/newlist.mbox/newlist.mbox and run 'bin/arch --wipe newlist' to add those posts to the newlist archive. If you want the newlist members to receive the posts by email, you can instead remail (bounce in mutt terms) the messages in the mailbox to newlist which will send them to the members and archive them. Before doing that, you might want to set oldlist in Privacy options... -> Recipient filters -> acceptable_aliases of newlist so the bounced posts won't be held. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Migrating content to a new list
Hi, We have just created a new list in Mailman 2.1.14 to handle a specific set of discussions that were previously taking place on another list hosted on the same server. The membership of the new list is much broader than the old list, so many of its members have had no exposure to the recent discussions. Is there a way that I can use the archives of 'oldlist' and send out the past month's worth of discussions to 'newlist' so that the members are all up to date on the recent conversations? It's not feasible to just make the archives public because not all of the content is pertinent to all the members of 'newlist'.

OK, now I understand. Apple Mail just displays the entire message together, not as separate parts. I can't reply directly but clicking the list-email address and just copy/pasting the subject works just as well.

[Mailman-Users] Message approval by mail
I am trying to use the option to approve moderated messages using the 'reply' feature but it doesn't seem to work for me. I add the Approved: header to my reply as the first line in the body, but the message simply arrives back in my inbox unmodified, and the moderated message stays in the queue until I approve it with the web interface.
