The archive pages are static pages. Thus, when you tarred up Mailman and moved it, you brought over incorrect links to scrubbed attachments. To fix this, rebuild the entire archive for a list with, e.g. bin/arch --wipe kictanet (see bin/arch --help). This will recreate the entire pipermail archive from the /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/kictanet.mbox/kictanet.mbox file. This is why I generally recommend when moving archives to a new host to move only the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox and to recreate archives/private/listname/* with bin/arch rather than moving it. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
