I have seen MHonArc maintained archives where the message pages contain
explicit
links to the follow-up and "in reference to" messages.
I have been trying in vain to get them to appear in *my* MHonArc
archive.
You can check it out at

I have *explicitly* turned ON the FOLREFS resource, but the mark-up
never appears in my archive.
The meaning of "explicit, or direct, follow-ups/references" is that the
messages contain contain References: or In-reply-to: fields. It
appears that all the "follow-ups" listed in the thread index are based
upon Subject: text and not References or In-reply-to fields (check the
HTML source for you thread pages and you will see the
"<!-- Possible Follow-ups -->" comment). FOLREFS only deals with
References or In-reply-to fields and not Subject fields.
