[hypermail] Problem when merging two mailbox files

on my site http://www.emre.de/hypermail/de.comp.lang.php/ I am gathering news articles from the newsgroup de.comp.lang.php for later conversion into html files.

I´ve been collecting the newsgroup articles since March 2001. Some guy has been collecting since July last year and has sent me his Newsserver file.

I did some conversion to make this file "mailbox" like an converted it with hypermail to html.

Something does not work though:

when I run hypermail to convert the first mailbox and then a second time with the newer mailbox, the archive is not merged.

My old inbox file creates an index like this:

200103 ...
200104 ...
200105 ...
200106 ...
200107 ...

Now I´d expect hypermail to merge the mailbox files so the main index in the above url starts from 200007. This is not the case though.

Do I have to make *one* inbox file, so hypermail recognizes the content of it as one archive ?

I have set the same label for both archives so I´m wondering why it does not work.

Any hint will be appreciated.

Regards,

Emre
