I think the HTML messages are there but the archive index page generation 
is going wrong, although new messages are being added to the truncated list 
on the index page. That said the gzipped text file of the archive is 
consistent with the index page.

Maybe related to the problem I've been seeing but maybe not; according to 
message headers on some mail coming from the list the time from the mailman 
server receiving posts to sending them out has been very lengthy (see 
headers below from one message). Before the list's index page was screwed 
up messages were appearing in the archives long before they were passed to 
the mail.python.org MTA for distribution to the list members.
