ArchRunner was stuck and didn't process mail anymore, and apparently has
not been since Jan 19th.
Running arch --wipe and then restarting ArchRunner "unstuck" it, and now
it is catching up... (12600 to go atm)
And yes, really 14k new messages!
(It is a list I run for my wife, and there are 20+ women (and 2 men,
including me, as list admin) chatting there on topics like
machine-embroidery, doll-clothing, etc.! Does that say enough?...)

I didn't think about searching for list content specifically! *smacks
forehead*
Thx for that!
