I tried to make use of the default resource file, but it seems like it

- It worked when creating a new archive, but changes after that had
no effect when updating the archive. (Is this possibly
intentionally?)
Yes, the behavior is intentional.
- The resource MSGGMTDATEFMT did not affect the variable
$MSGGMTDATE$ .
Works for me. How are you setting it?
Make sure MHonArc is finding the resource file. When running mhonarc
in non-quiet mode, it will print out each resource file it reads.
For example:
shell> mhonarc -out out inbox
=> Reading resource file: /home/earlhood/.mhonarc.rc ...
Converting messages to out
Reading inbox .........
Writing mail .........
Writing out/maillist.html ...
Writing out/threads.html ...
Writing database ...
9 messages
=> Default resource file.
Also, if specifying a resource file via RCFILE, make sure it is not
setting MSGGMTDATEFMT, overriding the setting in the default rcfile.
