Helpful ibiblio people:

After you fixed the encoding issues in the cc-es mailing list archives last
January, new messages are not being properly archived there. Monthly indexes
are not published:

http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-es/

And within each monthly index, which does exist, apparently only the last
message in the month is archived:

http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/cc-es/2007-April/date.html

And that with bad encoding.

I thought to reopen the old ticket rather than open a new one. Please
correct me if that is not the proper procedure.

Thanks,

Javier Candeira
