I vote for the longest possible interval, as I say I would rather not
split the archive at all.
Archiving monthly has two problems:
- To track down a message you have to guess which month, and possibly
search through a few months.
- Threads are completely broken between monthly archives. See for
example the 'ozmake and new release' thread in archives for November
and December 2003.
For me the latter is the killer. I don't understand why so many
archives use it.
