They are as good as any.

It seems like it should be easy enough change them manually, but I'd rather use whatever mechanism Mailman provides.

The issue here is that bin/arch --wipe will fix the links to attachments
scrubbed during the archiving process. However, for attachments scrubbed
during incoming message processing because scrub_nondigest is Yes, the
situation is different.

The attachment was saved in the attachments directory and replaced by a
link in the actual message body. Thus, the LIST.mbox file contains only
the link in the body and the only place the scrubbed attachment exists
is in the attachments directory on the old server.

The only way to fix this is to move the actual files from the
attachments directory on the old server and update the links manually or
possibly with some programmatic process.
