Any thoughts on why mhonarc is not seeing the rcfile.txt?
Yes. It's because the command executed through the 'Add' button
does not include the -rcfile option. To have mhonarc read
rcfile.txt, and update the archive database with its settings,
you can enter this in the "Other MHonArc command" field:
mhonarc -editidx -rcfile $mrc -outdir $archive
Ahh, ok. Alternatively, could I modify the 'Add' option to include
the "-rcfile $mrc" command-line options?
There is no need to. Once saved in the archive database, your resource
file settings will be applied when adding new messages. You need the
-rcfile option only when you want to change a resource.
I specified UTF-8 conversion in my rcfile, yet whenever mhastart's "add"
routine is invoked (via the web), conversion is invariably not carried
out. When I looked at the archive database I saw
$TextClipFunc='MHonArc::UTF8::clip';
$TextClipSrc='MHonArc/UTF8.pm';
, which looked okay (though I can't be certain). Also, submitting the
shell command
mhonarc.pl -add -outdir $archive $mbox -rcfile $mrc
always worked. So I forced the rcfile to be re-read with each -add by
modifying updatearchive, like so:
push @ARGV, ( $mbox, '-rcfile', $mrc ) unless $in{routine} eq 'remove';
This gave me the expected results but I remain puzzled as to why this
was necessary. Any insight is appreciated.
