Bug Description

When running arch and webpages still exists, the web
archive is messed up. This is quite confusing.
A warning should be printed if arch is started on a
list where there is already stuff in the web archive.
Optionally it could delete the files is is regenerating
first.

Details: arch seems to attach each mail again to the
.txt monthly archive files here and then build the
web archive out of this. No wonder that the mail I
deleted is still in after the process....
