In a default installation there is a cumulative mailbox at
archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox which contains all
archived messages. The Mailman command line tool bin/arch can be used
to rebuild the pipermail archive from this file.

>(current month or last N messages)?


Make a symlink to the current month's archive and update it monthly
with a cron.
