Careful with post-processing; you do not want to mangle

MSG ID's seems a specious case as all the MSG ID's would be
identically munged, retaining referential correctness.

It is a problem.  MHonArc would not know about the munging, so it
will not be able to hyperlink message-ids when messages are added
that are referenced by other messages.  The munging would have to be
embedded into MHonArc so it knows how to match the ids properly.

Ahh, as the munging would only occur on the generated pages and not on
the source messages or MHonArc's DB of the MSG ID's and other key
strings, this doesn't seem applicable.  Certainly I'm munging the
email addresses (and some MSG ID's) in the generated HTML files and
have seem no degredation in MHonArc's thread linking.
