NAME

       mmarch - Rebuild a Mailman mailing list's archive.

SYNOPSIS

       mmarch [options] <listname> [<mbox>]

DESCRIPTION

       Use  this  command  to rebuild the archives for a mailing list.  You may want to do this if you edit some
       messages in an archive, or remove some messages from an archive.

       -h, --help

              Print this error message and exit.

       -q, --quiet

              Make the archiver output less verbose.

       --wipe

              First wipe out the original archive  before  regenerating.   You  usually  want  to  specify  this
              argument unless you're generating the archive in chunks.

       -s N, --start=N

              Start indexing at article N, where article 0 is the first in the mbox.  Defaults to 0.

       -e M, --end=M

              End  indexing  at article M.  This script is not very efficient with respect to memory management,
              and for large archives, it may not be possible to index the mbox entirely.  For that  reason,  you
              can specify the start and end article numbers.

       mbox  is  the  path  to  a  list's  complete  mbox  archive.   Usually  this  will  be  some  path in the
       archives/private directory.  For example:

       % mmarch mylist archives/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox

       mbox is optional.  If it is missing, it is calculated.
