I am basically trying to organize my email archive over the last years,
which is currently stored on many CDs, by month (but not 100 %accurately)
in PINE folders, (received, sent-mail, fcc folders etc).

While archiving with MHonArc, I would like to preserve
        - which CD
        - which month
        - which folder
the message came fo,s I can go back in case of doubt to review.

I guess I'll pipe them through formail to add an X-MHonArc-sourcefile header then...

Is there a way to list arbitrary headers in the index lists?
