You could could also start with the 'h2mbx.pl' script

and modify it to parse your html files.

Has anybody written a perl script to convert mhonarc msg html to
standard Internet RSC mailbox format? I want to add old archives to
the mail-archive website, but neglected to save the mailbox data that
created them originally.
I made the following script for one particular case, but since MHonArc
is incredibly configurable, there is little chance for the script to
work generally. But it might help you at getting started, who knows...
To use it, I called a recursive `wget' on the archives, and from within
the directory, did `unmhonarc * > ../FOLDER' to produce a single big FOLDER
containing all the archives. Then, I digested that folder from within Gnus,
and had fun for a good while, sorting out all the information!
The following script is put in an executable file named `unmhonarc',
as you guessed already :-).
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Rebuild simple messages from their HTML expression.
