[Mailman-Users] Using Majordomo "log" format with pipermail

[Ryan K. Brooks]

On my continued quest to import my majordomo log format archives, I wrote a
short program to move the date from the Date header line onto the From line
(and delete the colon, make sure I have \n\n before the From line, etc.),
but I haven't had any success with the arch command yet.   I can only
conclude that it needs more headers than I have (can't say I'm fluent in
Python).

In any case, two possibilities:

	Could someone tell me the minimum headers that 'arch' needs?  or

	Should I just bail and try to convert everything to Mhonarc?

Thanks for any advice,

Ryan

I'm not sure what Majordomo log format is but mbox format is pretty
easy to convert stuff into... just ^N^Nfrom<space> between messages.
The problem that I ran into when doing some conversion is that
Mailman 2.0 looks for some date/time strings on the same line as
the "from<space>" ..
