I do this (on an annual rather than monthly basis) for a few mailing lists. The few lists I'm on that generate enough traffic that monthly archives would be really big, I simply don't archive locally. Most of them have web archives anyway (debian-user, etc.). My debian-user folder has maybe 50 messages in it that I've found valuable enough to want to keep around semi-permanently. The rest get deleted manually after I read them, or after their threads have died. Craig
