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.
Well, as far as I can tell, it *should* not have been necessary, so it
sounds like you have jumped at a bug with respect to MHonArc's ability
to either save some resource setting needed for UTF-8, or retrieve it
when running MHonArc without the -rcfile option. Something for Earl to
look into, I suppose.
I believe it would be useful if you let Earl know which MHonArc
version you are running.
