Thank you for your helpful and comprehensive answer.
This may (or may not) actually be a "good" thing to do...
ok. you convinced me to archive periodically. :)
It sounds to me like you've got a Pegasus folder full of old mail which
you want to html-ize and then you want to start adding the new messages.
Yes, precisely.
I hope this helps... If you explain more about exactly what you're doing
and what you're trying to accomplish, the list and I can try to expand on
the answers.
OK. Thanks. Your answer was so helpful that I solved most of the problems
described before. However, there are a few new once.
P.S. Please respond either directly to me *or* to the list. Getting 2
copies of your response just confuses me.
Sorry, at the beginning I didn't notice that I was sending the previous letter
to
you. I wanted to send it to the list, so when I noticed my mistake I sent it
again. I postulate to add to the list config file Reply-to field to avoid such
confusion.
I have a problem with author and subject indexes (why Earl does not set
them by default?). I don't know how to refer to them in config file, since
there
are only IDXFNAME, and TIDXFNAME used like this:
<li><a href="$IDXFNAME$">Chemfan Archive Main Index</a></li>
but how to refer to author or subject indexes if there is nothing like
AIDXFNAME or SIDXFNAME?
My rcfile for mhonarc has the following content.
You may have a look at the result here:
http://www.termisoc.org/~andyk/chemfan/archive/threads.html
I can't find the reason why there are small boolets as first (I would prefer
big
one first) and why there are empty lines between threads (something like
<p>?).
I would prefer to have it like here:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/mhonarc/1999-11/threads.html
without any empty lines, and with bigger boolets as first. Can you see that
mistake in the .mhonarcrc.chemfan script below?
Do outdir, quiet, stdin work in rcfile?

How could I have my title formated like above but without these tags
displayed in bookmark file page title when the page is bookmarked?
