ezmlm-idx(1)		     General Commands Manual		    ezmlm-idx(1)

NAME
     ezmlm-idx - create index for mailing list archive

SYNOPSIS
     ezmlm-idx [ -dDF ][ -fI msg ] dir

DESCRIPTION
     ezmlm-idx reads all archived messages for the list in dir from dir/archive/
     and  creates  a  message  index. The index file format is identical to that
     produced by ezmlm-send(1) (when dir/indexed is present).

     ezmlm-idx will ignore messages that do not have the owner execute bit set.

     ezmlm-idx will create the the index file under a different  name  and  then
     move it into place.

     If  dir/indexed  does not exist, ezmlm-idx will create it to enable the use
     of the newly created subject and author index.

     ezmlm-idx will remove reply-indicators and the prefix from the subject  be-
     fore  entry into the index, as described for ezmlm-send(1).  ezmlm-idx will
     decode rfc2047 encoded subject and author	headers.  When	unfolding  split
     lines,  ezmlm-idx	will remove redundant escape sequences for the character
     set specified in dir/charset.

     ezmlm-idx calculates a subject hash based on the normalized subject header.
     Normalization removes linear whitespace, case information, and message  re-
     ply  indicators.	The  subject  hash  is	used by ezmlm-get(1) for message
     threading.

OPTIONS
     -d     Use the ``Date:'' header for date information, rather than	the  top
	    ``Received:''  header.  This is unreliable, but useful when messages
	    have been transferred from another type of archive by  mailing  them
	    to	ezmlm.	 ezmlm-idx converts dates with two-digit years ``xx'' to
	    19xx if xx is >= 70. Otherwise, 20xx is assumed.

     -D     (Default.)	Use the ``Received:'' header, not the ``Date:''  header.
	    This  is more reliable since this is the header added by the receiv-
	    ing qmail. Also, this results in always correctly formatted dates in
	    the same time zone (usually UTC).

     -f msg
	    Start indexing with the  archive  section  containing  message  msg.
	    This  is  useful  if you have removed part of the archive and do not
	    want to create (empty) directories and index  files  for  these.  It
	    also decreases ezmlm-idx memory use.

     -F     (Default.)	Start indexing from message 1.

     -v     Display ezmlm-idx version info.

     -V     Display ezmlm-idx version info.
