Removing the \ehood section of the .forward file prevented the email getting
to MHonArc.
Does anyone have any other ideas on these issues?
TIA.

I've browsed your doc but I don't think it addresses my issues.
My questions are:
1. How do I sort emails titled "Subject 1" to archive 1 and
"Subject 2" to archive 2? I don't have access to procmail at this
time.
2. How do I avoid sending emails to /var/mail/<user> and, instead,
process them directly into MHonArc? It seems that using a .forward
file still keeps a copy in my Unix mbox. I know there are methods
to remove mbox entries after the fact but can I bypass it
completely?
Sorry, I should have said that I didn't even try to address the first
question, and maybe I misunderstood the second. :(
This is the example in the FAQ:
\ehood, "|/home/ehood/bin/webnewmail #ehood"
If I haven't misunderstood anything, you prevent that a copy is kept
by skipping the
\ehood,
part.
As regards the first question, and provided that you are using a
wrapper program, I suppose that you would need to write some code that
parses the message headers and make the -outdir option dependent on
"Subject:".

I've read the posts about using procmail's "recipe" method to sort
emails into MHonArc archives. Is there another method I can use if
procmail isn't available on my server?
I currently use the .forward file to process my emails and am also
wondering if there is a way to bypass storing emails in
/var/mail/<user> and processing directly into MHonArc.
That is discussed in the FAQ:
