                      2: =================
                      3: When overwriting an existing archive the attachment files are not overwritten 
                      4: but are created anew. This leaves files that are not linked into anything in 
                      5: the directory taking up space.
                      6: 
                      7: Converting existing hypermail archives to use a different HTML file suffix:
                      8: ===========================================================================
                      9: If you are going to change the filename suffix used from the default ".html"

                     19: ========================================
                     20: File locking doesn't work all that well over NFS. For that reason you are
                     21: encouraged to run Hypermail on the same system that the disk is on. This
                     22: is due to possible timing issues within NFS. Hypermail based network locking 
                     23: is not expected to work at this time.
                     24:
