[Mailman-Users] Importing archives without splitting into months.

[Jon Carnes]

The default is monthly:
  # 0 - yearly
  # 1 - monthly
  # 2 - quarterly
  # 3 - weekly
  # 4 - daily
  DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_VOLUME_FREQUENCY = 1
  DEFAULT_DIGEST_VOLUME_FREQUENCY = 1

But you can change it on a per list basis by using the web-admin and
going to the Archive tab and choosing "yearly" for "How often should a
new archive volume be started?"
