[Mailman-Users] Importing archives

[David Gordon]

I know I can import an archive to a new list, cos I read the FAQs...

I am moving a list to Mailman. It would be nice to re-create the archive.
Do I have to create an mbox for each month, or do I just put all of the
messages in one mbox?

I have about 7500 messages going back a couple of years. But I think
there are more somewhere. Can I add those messages later? Or is importing
an archive a once only event.

I think I want the archive to be in monthly view, if that makes any
difference.

Thanks
