I am having a problem however with author sorting.  The subjects on the
author.html page created by MHonArc are not linked to the correct messages.
 For example, listed under author1, I have a message subject that is
actually from author2, but the link to this message is to a message by
author1.  Also, author2's name doesn't show up anywhere on the page.

The problem occurs for when the index is generated via OTHERINDEXES.
The bug is verified against v2.3.0 beta. The following is a patch
for mhindex.pl for v2.3.0 beta:
