The problem at the client site was the archives didn't upgrade and
became broken on the first successful transfer to the list. Fortunately
I had "mbox" backups! Unfortunately, I don't remember the details, and
since I "just fixed it", I don't have the benefit of an email record to
jog my memory. Sigh.
