[Mailman-Users] [Repost] Would like to insert old archives into new archives

[Sarah K. Miller]

When I needed to do this, I simply appended the .mbox file for the original list to the .mbox file of the current list (using Pico, since that's my editor of choice). Then I deleted the existing archives and rebuilt them using bin/arch.
