Thanks for your assurance that the "missing" messages are not
permanently lost.  Again, many thanks for your service.

As a side issue, are you beginning to wonder whether MHonArc is really
suited for a massively scalable system of mail archiving such as yours?
It seems to me that over 99% of all e-mail received by the Mail Archive
will never be looked at within the first few weeks of their posting.  Is
too much disk capacity and processing power taken up in immediately
doing the Email-to-HTML conversion, along with the concomitant
generation of index pages?

Perhaps mail should just be queued away and indexed as it's received - a
much less consumptive process.  And only if one actually were to call up
a mailing list archive - or particular message - would the appropriate
HTML be generated, "just-in-time," using ASP or something like that.

I have them all sitting in a storage location.
So they are not lost. No esitmate on how long they
will sit, though.
