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
       before 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 reply 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 receiving qmail. Also, this results in always	correctly for-
	      matted 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.
