Restore a single mail from a data backup

I accidentally discarded a message from the mailing list. Fortunately, I have the mailman data backup. Is there a way to restore a single mail from the backup?
Thanks, Rumesh

The message was in a file named heldmsg-LISTNAME-nnn.pck in Mailman's data/ directory. Restore that file. You can restore it anywhere, it doesn't have to be in the data/ directory. Then see the script at <https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/hold_again> (mirrored at <https://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/hold_again>) for the way to process it.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the response. I'll try this.
