I use procmail to invoke a perl script each time a message is posted to
my mailing list:

:0 c
* ^Reply-To: marxism(_at_)lists(_dot_)panix(_dot_)com
|perl5 /users/lnp3/.procmail/webnewmail.pl

====

The perl script, as follows, invokes the mhonarc command and also keeps
track of when the month has changed. If the month changes, it creates a
new directory and funnels converted html messages to that destination.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

##      Specify a package to protect names from MHonArc.

package WebNewMail;

$date = `date`;
@date_tbl = split(" ", $date);

$day = @date_tbl[0];
$month = @date_tbl[1];
$year = @date_tbl[5];

$return = `ls /users/lnp3/public_html/archives/`;
if ($return !~ /$month$year/)
  {`mkdir  /users/lnp3/public_html/archives/$month$year`;
   `chmod a+x /users/lnp3/public_html/archives/$month$year`;}


##      Edit to point to installed mhonarc.

$MHonArc = "/usr/local/bin/mhonarc";

##      Define ARGV (ARGV is same across all packages).
##      Edit options as required/desired.

@ARGV = ("-add",
         "-quiet",
         "-outdir", "/users/lnp3/public_html/archives/$month$year",
         "-rcfile", "/users/lnp3/public_html/archives/main.rc");

##      Just require mhonarc, this prevents the overhead of a
##      fork/exec.

require $MHonArc;


I have also used the following resource files to great advantage. They
create date, thread and author indexes. With minor changes, they are the
ones that are found at http://www.sonic.net/~snevel/mhonarc.html, the
website of Simeon Nevel who was of tremendous help when I first got
started. Speaking as somebody who has worked with both Hypermail and
Mhonarc, I can say that Mhonarc is the greatest thing since sliced bread
and Earl Hood is to be commended for developing such a terrific 
product.
