editing archives

Hello,

I run an archive for exmh using mharc/mhonarc -
http://mercea.net/~exmh/  and I like it very much.  I received an
email from a company that would like me to remove references to their
domain from the archive, for spam prevention purposes.   A quick
search shows only 3 affected messages, all from 1995.  

I've enabled SPAMMODE in mhonarc, and that works fine for new mail.

Ideally, I'd like a way to do one of the following:
- run spammode type filter over the entire archive, without trashing
  the archive and re-importing all the mboxes (I have them, but it
  would take hours to organize over 8 years of mbox folders for 3 lists) 
- edit the individual html files for those three messages and manually
  xxxx out the domains in question.
- delete the three messages entirely.

I tried to use mhonarc -rmm on the message id from within the yyyy-mm
directory, and it told me it couldn't get the lock - that doesn't make a
lot of sense, since as I said, the message was from 1995, so nothing
else should be locking that archive.

Thanks,

Scott Lipcon
