I would do the following steps. First bin/cleanarch < eudora.mbx > temp.mbox Then it depends on whether or not there are existing Mailman archives for the list, and if so, whether it is important to preserve the existing message numbers in this archive. Basically, you want to concatenate the existing archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file if any and the temp.mbox created above. If preserving message numbers is not a priority, it is best to do cat temp.mbox archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox > temp2.mbox cp temp2.mbox archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox which will leave archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox in cronological sequence, but if you want to preserve message numbers, you need to add temp.mbox to the end. In either case, you then do bin/arch --wipe listname(Continue reading)

I looked more closely at a Eudora .mbx file and I see that the MIME structure of the messages is not preserved. The messages are 'flattened' - the outer Content-Type: header is preserved, but all boundaries and part headers are removed and non-text attachments are stored aside with a pointer left in the message. Thus, the messages in the Eudora .mbx file are vaguely similar to messages that have been scrubbed by Mailman's Scrubber.py module, except the Content-Type: of the Eudora message is no longer correct which will probably confuse the Mailman bin/arch process. Thus, converting the Eudora .mbx will probably require a fairly involved script. I'm not aware of an existing one. -- -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro <at> value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B. Dylan

It also that some listserves won't respond when their address is listed bcc: . It's a total pain that a sender who prefers addressing to lists of bcc: addresses has to persuade the owner of some mailman lists to reconfigure so as to accept posting to their list under bcc; the alternative is to post separately to such lists -- which means identiofying which owners don't care about other posters privacy wishes.

I've followed this thread, as Mailman site administrator at two different sites (and continents :) and will try to see whether it may help me to integrate Mailman and HtDig for the last two releases of Mailman (that is, 2.1.7 & 2.1.81b). This said, I'd like to express many thanks and much appreciation to Richard Barret in UK for providing the Mailman/HtDig integration patches up to and including Mailman v. 2.1.6. The patches worked 'out of the box' and the quality of the searchable archives they produced was superior to what we see on this list (imho). Does anyone on this list has a working email address for Richard Barrett? Regards Kaja

Hi Mark, Thanks for your answer. Yes, I don't care about 'header folding' but 'body folding'. My issue occurred because we believe that MUA and MTA have setup not to wrap any long lines but mailman somehow wraps them up. So, I am looking for any thing to turn off this feature on mailman. Can this be done on mm_cfg.py or do I have to tweak some codes (especially Mailman/Utils.py)?

How long are these lines before and after wrapping? If you look for example at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2006-March/050215.html> you will see a post with a 740 character line that isn't wrapped. >So, I am looking for any thing to turn off this feature on mailman. >Can this be done on mm_cfg.py or do I have to tweak some codes >(especially Mailman/Utils.py)? There is no mm_cfg.py setting for this. In fact, I don't think there is anything in the mailman code at all that does this intentionally, so I can't tell you where to look. If the lists Non-digest options->scrub-nondigest is set to Yes, you might try setting it to No to see if that makes a difference (if so, you would then look at Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py). -- -- Mark Sapiro <msapiro <at> value.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
