EH> P.S. I am curious about your table-based index, and how it looks.
I wanted a display that lined up nicely that could show all of a long
subject. I came up with the following, which may include some local hacks
to MHonArc. Caveat hackor. An example can be seen at
<URL:http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/archive/9603/index.html>. The only real
problems I see is that large tables are somewhat slow for some browsers to
generate and I don't really know how to handle browsers that don't do
tables. Any ideas?
Three (maybe) possible solutions. All are based on the client request
headers:
1) CGI: *If* a cgi script has access
to them it could check what browser requested the page
2) HTTPD: content negotiation: Tables are HTML 3.0. So if the
browser claims that he can display HTML3 return the table
version otherwise return a HTML2 version of the index
3) HTTPD: Multiviews (same principle as 2.)
For all cases you also have to try out the new <otherindexes> resource
of mhonarc v1.2 to create two version of the cronological and the thread
index.
Disclaimer: Nothing tested to work. Just the ways I would try.
