include eml files in archive
Hello,
Due to my error, I lost several month of mailing list archives.
One of my subscribers sent me the hole lost files in eml format (individual mails). Is there a way to add this to the mailman archives? (at least as html pages, I could insert manually)?
thanks jdd

Did you also lose the archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file, or did you perhaps lose archives by having turned off archiving?
If your archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox file is complete, you could just rebuild the archive with Mailman's "bin/arch --wipe LISTNAME".
Otherwise, you could concatenate the .eml files, adding "From " separators to make an mbox format file and process that with "bin/arch LISTNAME /path/to/mbox/file" to add the messages to the archive.

yes in fact I lost the server and had to reinstall from old backup :-(
