Hello,

When I read through the documentation for the new release, I found the options 'folder_by_date,' 'avoid_top_indices,' and 'attachmentsindex.' They looked promising, but I haven't had any luck getting them work together as I expected.

I've got a large archive that gets about 500 messages a day. I had previously toyed with having a script determine the date of the message and send it to hypermail for a daily archive. The problem I found with this is that threads spanning several days weren't linked together. I had hoped that these new found options would help.

Here's my problem: Even though I specified 'folders' in the 'avoid_top_indices' option, the file is still being created. I don't want any indexes created for the whole archive, only for the individual days. Am I doing something wrong, or did I misunderstand the documentation, or is it supposed to work like I expected it to?

Regards,

Paul G. Fitzgerald
