Before going ahead, there is one thing I'm curious about as I don't
understand it. Please, why does the path to the mbox file
include <listname>.mbox twice? Here...

http://wiki.list.org/DOC/How%20do%20I%20import%20an%20archive%20into%20a%20new%20mailing%20list%3F

It reads...

archives/private/<listname>.mbox/<listname>.mbox

Thanks!
