You solution has 2 disadvantages :
        1/ it requires a new CPAN module 'Date::Manip' and Sympa already 
suffers
          from the amount of required CPAN modules.

        2/ archived.pl does NOT use the Date: SMTP header field to determine 
           in which directory to store the mail. It uses the current date
           instead.

Another cheap and efficient solution is to hard-code in arcsearch_id that it 
should search for the message in the provided month and the previous one.
