Version of MHonArc? Way back when, there was a problem when message-ids
contained the single-quote character.
Do have the latest version of MHonArc?
--ewh
P.S. When reporting a potential bug, list the following (from the
README):
o Version of Perl (can be retrievied by "perl -v").
o Version of the program (can be retrievied by "mhonarc -v").
o The operating system you are using (on Unix the output
of "uname -a" is useful).
o The exact command-line used to invoke the program.
o Error/diagnostic messages from the program.
o Any other information that might prove useful (eg. input
files, resource files, environment settings, etc).
The first two items are definite must.
