I have the same problem above, and I've heard that it's Netscape's
indexing engine bug.  It says that the search engine doesn't work
with <!--X-abcde--> tags, and at least does work with <!-- X-abcde -->
tags.                                                     ^       ^

I know <!--X-abcde--> is legal HTML, but I need to get on well with
Netscape's indexing engine together...

Is it harmful for MHonArc to edit "mhamain.pl" to print
<!-- X-abcde --> instead of <!--X-abcde--> ?

I'm worried about the description below in MHonArc2.2.0/faq/msgpgs.html.

   What are those "<!--X-... -->"?



If you ever looked at the HTML source of converted messages, 
you will notice a bunch of comment declarations, "<!--X-... -->". 
These comment declarations are used by MHonArc to properly edit messages
when needed. Therefore, DO NOT MESS WITH THEM.

Thank you.
