[Mailman-Users] Generating list archive from a mbox file

[Nitin Bhadauria]

Please don't say that there is no way to get the archive back because i
have to get them any how, even if i need to create whole archive manually.

But i don't want to wast that much of time. That why i am looking for an
other option.
