I will search for Lena's script and ponder this. Obviously losing the poster and date message context is a loss, so I will have to balance this against the pain of managing main as a faked-subgroup.
You can find info on Lena's Perl script at?/g/GroupManagersForum/message/22251?

I remain surprised that there aren't fully working export/import tools for managing messages with meta-data, given the number of different customers managing so many groups - surely this must come up a lot.
Yes, it does. However...

There is potential for misuse of such tools to circumvent groups.io's pricing structure. Picture a scenario we all collaborated to buy an Enterprise group (with its own domain) and house everyone's groups as unlimited subgroups of that. The ability to move messages between groups/subgroups would only facilitate this kind of abuse.

There's also the potential for breach of trust. Imagine posting something to what you thought was a private group (Alcoholics Anonymous or whatever) only to have someone later move all your messages to a different one that was public.

I can't speak for Mr Fletcher; but if it was me, I would be very hesitant to go there.
