it wasn't because i didn't use -add
it was becuase i had a hyphen '-' in the msgprefix setting
thanks for the support

i'm using an rc file to begin an archive which will be running
of a mail pipe archiving a list from another server
initially setting up the archive is fine but every new message
that comes through the mail pipe rewrites itself as the '0' msg
(which in this case is iww-news00000.html)
You need to use the -add switch when you invoke MHonArc,
otherwise the it's behavior will be as you described.
