Has anyone "edited" list archive files? I have on occasion been tempted to edit out spams that got through and junk mail, but never wanted to try badly enough to actually do it. Recently, I was contacted by a user who was quite insistent that I remove his posts from the archives. Haven't seen a court order yet <grin> but... (1) If you edit the archive files, do you have to "re-index" the archives? How would removal of postings affect indexing, searching, and the web interface? Are there commands to "re-index" the files? I used to delete old archives when we were using Listserv-NJE for VM, there you simply deleted the files you wanted to remove, then remove the listname DBNAMES and listname DBINDEX files; this caused a re-index. How would this be done on Listserv/NT ? (2) Is there an easy way to remove specific postings? (1.8c has that neat little GETPOST command; can listowners get a DELPOST command?) Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Jeff Kell <[log in to unmask]>
