Hi Paul,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've got both:

require_msgids = 0
discard_dup_msgids = 0

However all the messages do have ids. Case in point: grep Message-ID mbox | wc
returns 193 message ID's. They all look unique. This mbox has 193 messages. However hypermail makes an archive with only 9 messages. Another similar mbox with 47 messages makes an archive of 23 messages. I'm stumped.
