[Mailman-Users] broken mbox files: No blank lines before From
Hi, I've been browsing the archives, bug lists and google for a while but was unable to find a solution for my problem, so I'm asking here. The mbox archive of one of my lists (~ 15.000 mails in 2 years) is a little broken: In approx. 5% (guessed) of the cases, two mails are not correctly separated by a blank line, i.e. the From header of the latter email is directly under the last (non-empty) line of the preceding letter. This results in some problems: 1) I am in the process of converting the mbox file to a different format - this will not work with broken mbox files like this. 2) List archives are not correctly rebuilt by ~mailman/bin/arch Do you know how this problem occurs? Should I report this to mailman's bug tracker? Do you have any idea how to fix the problem? I'd be happy to hack a newline in all necessary places - but the box is a little big... Do you have any knowledge of some fix-my-mbox-program that does the job? Can anyone help me with a perl one-liner or sth?
