Updated script for checking and fixing mbox files.
Mailman 2.1 has a cleanarch script for checking mbox files for unescaped
From lines in message bodies and optionally fixing them. For some
time, there has been a stand-alone python3 version of this script at
https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/cleanarch3 (mirrored at
https://fog.ccsf.edu/~msapiro/scripts/cleanarch3). I have just updated
this script to check and optionally fix bad Date: headers.
I have also added it at https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/blob/master/hyperkitty/contrib/clean... for the next release.

At what point does an MM3 List Admin require this script? I am unable to figure that out :-)

The script is useful for finding and cleaning up issues in mbox files to be used as input to hyperkitty_import. The normal flow would be to process the mbox with cleanarch3 to fix any unescaped From lines and bad Date: headers and then check the mbox with the ck_hk_import script to identify any messages in the mbox that might throw uncaught exceptions in hyperkitty_import and manually fix or remove those, and finally run hyperkitty_import.
