You could also do the same process on the 7th, 14th, 21st, or 28th day of the month (which is where LISTSERV breaks 'weeks', i.e. they are not calendar weeks). Weekly message archives are smaller for anyone downloading the whole message log file. also the web indexes are separate and slightly smaller. This makes a very minor improvement in the time it takes to index or re-index the archives and a slight reduction in the memeory used during searches (helps concurrency with other operations).
