This is probebly beyond the scope of the list, but it's time to ask.
I have mhonarc working. It works __GREAT__ Thank you all very
very much. I have downloaded Earl's long, fancy resource file,
edited it, and started it working. I have successfully convereted a
22K message archive to html messages. No problem.
However, the email list server that I am archiving lists the FROM
address as the listmanager. The actual author is listed on a
From: authorname
as the first line of the BODY of the message.
I have attached a sample message and headers below for you to
see. I _think_ I need some code to walk through the message
archive and add an X-AUTHOR: authorname in the headers, and
then add X-AUTHOR as a possible FROM address in the standard
resource file. But I am _not_ enough of a perl programmer to do
that.
Or, alternatively, I need a way to convince Mhonarc that the first line
of the body of the message _IS_ the from address.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you all for your time, thank you all for your patience. Yes,
I've read the docs, yes, I think I understood them, yes, the program
works. It works great.

You should feel lucky. At least at the Baen Bar we actually talk and
interact with our Trolls. Most Newsgroups just kill file and ignore
them.........My what a good suggestion.
Plunk!
