mg appends shit onto it every time a message goes through. its manually
rotated(which i should do sometime )

True dat. Dean, why not have a perl script run over the same files that
the current tip harvester runs? Instead of the Big Ass .mbox file,
/home/mailman/archives/private/thelist/Week-of-Mon-XXXXXXX.txt ? Does
that file have enough header information?
I say this because its already rotating once a week, and on average is
only a MB in size.. If that doesn't work out, I'll try to put something
toegether that rotates the .mbox once a week
.djc.
