I looked at it last August when I set-up mod_mbox to work with the archives (e.g. http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/httpd-dev/ ) but that got shot down so I shelved it. The problem with MHonArc is that it's about as 'stable' as pipermail is and without many major or compelling features to merit the migration to using it. It requires someone with a bit more skill and patience with HTML to make it look pretty as, otherwise, it looks and feels much the same as pipermail. So...I suppose the short answer to your question is 'no', but I do understand that pipermail does leave a lot to be desired. e. _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list website-discuss@opensolaris.org
