However, when I do

It produces subject lines like

That is not what I want -- I want it to produce the subject like the
mhonarc output pages. Is there a
- switch in mhonarc or
- a patch to mhonarc or
- a conversion utility or
- a perl library function
that will produce/convert the text into what I want?
-scan is for terminal-based examination of archive contents. It
does not invoke CHARSETCONVERTERS since CHARSETCONVERTERS is designed
for conversion to HTML, not plain text.
Will you provide more information on how you utilize -scan output?
It may help in determining what the best solution to your problem is.
BTW, if iso-8859-1 is the default encoding for the messages you
archive, you may want to look at the DECODEHEADS resource. You could
instruct mhonarc to decode the non-ASCII encoded text before storing
the data in the archive. Therefore, when doing -scan, the non-encoded
form the text will be shown.
