[Box-Admins] RE: mailing list working?

[Ken Causey]

If by 'disguuuuusting' you are referring to the archive for 1/2012 I
believe I've found the cause for that and am regenerating the archive
now; as a result mailman is stopped for the moment.  Mailman assume any
line that starts with 'From ' is the start of a new message.  Anything
that generates a .mbox file is supposed to prefix any line that starts
with 'From ' that is not the very first line of a message with '>', but
at some point quite a few messages ended up in the archive without that
done.  Mailman includes a utility to fix this and I've done that and the
archive is regenerating now, hopefully in better shape.
