[Mailman-Users] Converting Majordomo archive files to Mailman archives?

[Richard Barrett]

You can use $prefix/bin/arch to add the contents of .mbox files to the 
HTML archives of a Mailman mailing list. RUn it with the -h option for 
more information.

You could consider using the following patch to Mailman for integrating 
htdig for archive search:

and the following patch which integrates MHonArc for HTML archive page 
generation, which is compatible with the htdig integration:

These patches are also available via sourceforge.
