For straightforward archving, I subscribe a special address to the
mailman list.  Then, in the .procmailrc file for that special
account I have the following:

:0
* ^.*the_list_name@
|/full/path/to/archives/mh


The 'mh' script is below.  It automatically archives to a folder
YYYYMM under the main .../archives directory.  The index.php3 page
in .../archives automatically builds the list of available archived
months, so the system maintains itself.
