Hiya...
After getting the rsponses to the effect that it isn't currently
possible to do it, I started playing around with at least a partial
solution, using MHonarc, archive2.pl and htdig. It works, and does most
of what I want, and is simple...
#!/bin/sh
HTDIG_DIR=/home/projects/pgsql/ftp/www/htdig
cd /home/projects/pgsql/ftp/www/html/mhonarc
for j in `cat .lists`
do
cd $j
for i in `ls archive`
do
datestr=`echo $i | awk -F. '{print $2}'`
yearstr=`echo $datestr | cut -c1-4`
monthstr=`echo $datestr | cut -c5-6`
directory=`echo ${yearstr}-${monthstr}`
if [ ! -d $directory ]
then
mkdir $directory
fi
/usr/local/bin/mhonarc \
-add -rcfile ../.resource \
-outdir $directory archive/${i}

do
echo -n "<b>${i}:</b> ["
echo -n "<A HREF="${i}/index.html">index</A>] "

done >> middle
