Alas, the change in 17.0 makes the old A1 page no longer available.  That
page, which grouped messages by week/month in addition to the individual
per-message trash can icon also offered a 'delete all' trash can icon at the
bottom of the page that would delete the entire week/month (depending on how
your archives are set up).  With the reorganization of message flow in 17.0
into a more continuous more stream that option is gone.

You can still delete an entire week/month archive by email command.  First
give an INDEX command to get a listing of archive files:

To delete a particular logfile, create an email that consists of one line
only:

To: [log in to unmask]
From: [log in to unmask]

PUT CBA-TES LOG9706 PW=xxxxxxxx

(where xxxxxxxx is the case-sensitive LISTSERV personal password of
[log in to unmask])

There must be nothing at all after the PUT command, no blank lines, no
signature, nothing whatsoever.

To delete multiple logfiles, you must send multiple, similar emails, one
email per log file you want to delete.
