Hi.

To delete single threads, you need to edit the raw archive "mbox" 
directly (via shell), and then regenerate the archive.
for detailed information, check the Mailman FAQ on:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp


To delete the entire archive:
1. in the list-administration-panel, turn off archiving (option archive) 
and switch archive from public to private if it's public (option 
archive_private)

2. do the things as described in the FAQ. when editing the raw archive 
(mbox), just delete all entries.

if you want to reenable archiving later, just turn on archiving (option 
archive) in the list-administration-panel (and set it to public if you 
like to).
