No,

I run majordomo. There are monthly archives. I keep these
for a year. I now wish to combine an entire year's worth of
monthly archives into one single .html annual archives using
hypermail. I can do this by simply running cat *.99* >
newarch.1999 and then running hypermail on the resulting
archives.

I thought however, that the -x option would allow me to
"append" monthly archives without over-writing what was
already in the archives. This would allow me to incrementally
maintain the annual archives. This does not seem to be the
case as my experiments all result in only the last archives file
processed being found in the html site. So my next question
is, just what does using the -x option accomplish?

Regards,
Jim
