Re: [Mailman-Users] Delete message in large mbox

Do you think there is an easier way to do these cleanings? A sort of webmail interface?

Maybe this could be done in the long run, but the problem is finding a given message in the large mailbox. This can't be done effectively over the web. If you have shell access, I would use Python to set up the mbox file as a Python mailbox object, then loop over messages saving each to a copy mbox until you find similar to the one (eg, matching subject) you're looking for, let the user choose whether to skip that, and continue until done. (Sorry, I don't have code off the top of my head.)
