[Mailman-Users] Corrupted archives ...

Hullo,

I'm running mailman-2.1.12, with the htdig patches on FreeBSD 7.0

I have a list with archives that are about 10 years old. The archive
mbox size is 175M.

I was alerted by a subscriber that the August 2009 archives list 128 "No
subject" emails that "look funny."

So I looked.. sure enough they're there. And they look something like
this when I click on a single email listed in the archives:

No subject

(end of example)

Everything looks fine if I use mutt -f listname.mbox in the private
archives directory for the list.

Has anyone had problems like this? My GoogleFu is failing me, or at
least isn't showing me anything like this.

Thanks in advance!
