Omitting dum[my|b] messages when converting archives

1999-07-16 18:13:23
        Pardon me if this has already been answered 1000 times before but
I can't find from the MHonArc documentation or FAQ (and the mailing list
archive is currently down) how to do this ...

Our server inserts into each mail folder a dummy message entitled: 
        DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA,

I would rather like to be able to exclude this from my mail archives!
Since I (re)generate the html archives on demand manually weeding out
these messages is not an option.

        Whilst I'm asking possibly dumb questions ...  I'd like to insert
some text onto each page containing an arbitrary variable passed to
MHonArc e.g:
        `mhonarc -myvariable "../widgets.html" -title {archive}` etc

Then do like:

        <ListBegin>
        ...
        Back to <A href="$MYVARIABLE$">my Widgets page</a>
        ...
        </ListBegin>

to use it. Is there a mechanism to acheive this built in to MHonArc
already?

(The URL below shows what I'm actually trying to use these features for.)
