Hello,
I'm using mailman v2.1, but its included pipermail system lacked vivid
functionality like to handle MIME mails fine.
I have been told to look at MHonArc, which seems to work after picking
some mailing lists.
The default mhonarc is lacking a nice user interface and breaking the
archive at a monthly period, so picked up mharc, too, ran web-archive and
finally had some nice archive lists.
However, I now have the problem of doing a nice replacement of pipermail,
in the aspects of archiving and cataloguing the mails (what mharc does
nicely), but I have not come to the point, where I can pull MHonArc and
mharc together:
When mailman delivers a mail to the archive, the posts say to call
"mhonarc -add xyz", but in this way I cannot use the mrc files supplied
with mharc. How can I add the arriving post to just the mailing list
archive, which name (and therefore directory) I already know?
Do I really need to keep all posts of a mailing list in the flat file UNIX
mailbox and have rebuilt the mharc "view" of this mailbox via cron job?? I
was actually assuming that the mail is in the archive, hence, I do not
need the unix mailbox anymore; and when I loose interest in the posts of
1995, I just remove the subdirs, re-create the search index, and I'm done
with it.
As I said, I'm a newbe to mhonarc/mharc, maybe I'm poking in the wrong
direction or there exists another solution and/or other mrc samples I
haven't found so far (like these threads):

There were an advocate of this link:

but this set lacks the monthly archiving feature.
