No, you don't need to recompile, support for it is included by default. The problems are bad flags handling (e.g. flags like "Important" are simply not remembered when you close the folder and open it again), poor perfomance and maybe more. So it's pretty bad for day to day use. But it could be just fine for export/acthival.

If you already have a way to create HTML from MBOX this would also work with MH files. The difference between MBOX and MH is that MBOX folder contains many messages while in MH the folder is a directory with many files each of which contains exactly one message.

What is slightly more involved is decoding MIME-encoded parts. But GNU mailutils might be able to do this.
