Hi Earl, I think best solution is for HtDig configuration to become more flexible, and that is part of their development plan. If there are problems in the meantime, I'll probably go ahead and patch MHonArc. That's probably better asthetically than cluttering MHonArc's feature space with the wor

So what's going on? 1) Paul's latest date patches have been applied. (Thanks, Paul!) 2) A new rcfile for [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been added, and the misdated raw email has been erased. The list will be rebuilt, but not until I take care of a disk which is now at 99% capacity. 3) A bunch

Hi htdig folks, I'm having a bit of a problem getting what I want from the htdig configuration options. Lots of people, myself included, use htdig in conjunction with MHonArc. In the current release version of MHonArc (2.4.3, which I recently upgraded to) attachments may be stored in subdirector

Hi Jeff, I'm sorry you had problems with my previous date code - hope it hasn't caused you much grief. I just didn't realise there were mail clients out there which produced malformed date strings (well, ones that date(1) can't read at least). The last patch to mailme I sent was (again) incorre

The problem has the following facets: Computers with misset clocks screw up 'Date:' MH's 'pick -before/-after' command probably uses 'Date:' Imports emphasize the 'Date:' header Importing by bounce adds an unhelpful 'Received:' header. Solution sets that I see are: a1) ask mailme to do m

Hi Jeff, First off, I made a silly mistake in monthme - producing links to html in subdirectories of course doesn't work, as none of the relative links work. This is quickly solved by linking to the directory instead which makes a lot more sense anyhow. The patch I've attached (see below) fixes

Paul, I applied your patch to the monthly index page generator -- and it looks like quite an improvement. However, relying on the 'Date:' header is definitely hurting, and something is inconsistant. This may take some work, possibly including perhaps bounce.pl modifications. See: http://www.ma
