corrupted resource(s)

Not too long ago I upgraded our version of MHonArc to 2.4.7.  Just a 
couple days ago I noticed that our old archives didn't have all of the 
prev/next buttons and other items that new archives have.  Using 
-editidx to regenerate the indexes didn't help.

I realized that the resources were stored in the databases and probably 
needed to be set to modern default settings.  So I did stuff like:

<BOTLINKS>
</BOTLINKS>

This reset the defaults and the newer interface items started popping 
up on the web pages.

So I figured if it's good for a few resources, I might as well do it 
for all of them...  I did it all at once in one fell swoop.  (I did 
skip the resources that aren't in the form of opening/closing tags.)

The maillist.html of the archive I was experimenting with now looks 
like this:

Help!  What did I change that put all those dollar signs in there?  How 
do I get it back to normal?

Thanks,
