As you might imagine, I tend to regenerate archives /a lot/, and
here's my recipe:

- cd /usr/local/mailman
- \rm -rf archives/private/mylist/*

(this last one is important to get just right)

- bin/arch mylist

As long as you don't mess with
archives/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox everything will be cool.

BTW, I like your site Stoney.  I think we need to put together The
Mailman Jam Band. :)
