I would love to have access to the last message number after a MHonArc run. I've been working on an SQL-based message store that is used entirely for searching, displaying indexes, etc. I still keep a MHonArc archive of all messages and use its output for the actual message display. What I would like to do is to maintain a cache of messages. When a message is requested it would be fed into MHonArc, the filename would be returned, and then I could display that file and store it in my database for future use (until it doesn't get used enough and the cache gets purged). It sounds like there are lots of reasons to display and/or store the filename on exit. I can work on a patch in the next few days unless Earl tells me to back off because he's going to do it. :) Chris
