If you saved the old archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file,
just concatenate the old and new files to make a
archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox that contains all the
messages, and then rebuild the archives with

bin/arch --wipe listname

If you didn't save the old archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox
file, you can make an approximate reconstruction by editing the old
archives/private/listname/yyyy-mmmmm.txt file to unobscure the email
addresses.
