Unfortunately the hard way, by hand. The new ones use a hash of (salt, Received, Date, Message-ID, From, Subject, List-Id), and it's guaranteed to be the same regardless of mhonarc deciding to ignore it's existing database. Previously, mhonarc generated sequential ids before based on listdir() order, which changed as archives have lived on ~7 boxes over it's lifetime. -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux Developer & Infra Guy E-Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85
