I'm confused. I don't know why you ran bin/arch --wipe, and do you
really have over 14000 new messages since Jan 19th?

No. There is really no way to not archive attachments that are allowed
on the list. If you set scrub_nondigest = Yes, the attachments will be
stored in the archive as the incoming message is processed and only
links will be in the delivered messages and the messages in the
archive queue, but it's too late for that in this case.

Sure there is. Just put site:mail.python.org and inurl:mailman (or
mailman-users) in addition to your other search criteria. Also see
