[Mailman-Users] Importing old list archives

[Jon Carnes]

Check out the ~mailman/bin/arch command.  It will turn an ordinary mbox
file into web-based archives ala' Pipermail.

You'll have to put the mbox file in the right place:   
  ~mailman/archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox
(that's from memory, so you should verify it).
