5.1. How do I import an archive into a new mailing list?

If your archive is in mbox format copy it to

   archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox  (where <list> is your list name)

then run

    bin/arch <list> archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox

If it's not in mbox format then you need to figure out how to convert it from whatever form it's in to mbox.

Note, that public archive files are just a softlink to

  archives/private/<list>.mbox/<list>.mbox

so you don't have to do the same job twice.
