If you look at the source code for the file 'mhonarc', you will
see it just calls a main library and then exists. You could create
your own version that does not exit right away, but does some
post processing to get what you want.
The %mhonarc::AddIndex hash should contain the index keys of all
messages that were added to the archive:
foreach $index (keys %mhonarc::AddIndex) {
$subject = $mhonarc::Subject{$index};
$msgpage_filename = &mhonarc::msgnum_filename($IndexNum{$index});
...
}
--ewh
