-rmm
option. Messages to be
deleted are designated by message numbers on the command-line.
Example
% mhonarc -rmm 24 28 39 48 Removing messages from ./maillist.html ... Removing message 24 Removing message 28 Removing message 39 Removing message 48 Writing HTML ... 45 messages
When a message is processed, the smallest available number is assigned to it,
starting with 0. The number assigned to a message becomes part of the filename
for the HTML version of the message (eg. msg00042.html
).
To avoid message number conflicts, MHonArc determines the smallest available number by finding the largest assigned number and adding one to it.
-scan
command-line option.
% mhonarc -scan 100 messages in .: Msg # YY/MM/DD From Subject ----- -------- --------------- --------------------------------------------- 513 95/02/09 Rick Silterra EDComment(sic) 517 95/02/09 Earl Hood Re: DTD2HTML 512 95/02/09 Earl Hood Re: edc2html 516 95/02/09 John Barnum Re: DTD2HTML 515 95/02/09 Earl Hood Re: DTD2HTML 511 95/02/09 Rick Silterra edc2html 514 95/02/08 John Barnum DTD2HTML 510 95/02/06 jflores mhonarc_diagnostics.doc.html 509 95/02/06 web Dr.Web: Status Review + Thank You 508 95/02/05 Earl Hood Re: sgml to html converters 507 95/02/03 Aileen Barry sgml to html converters 506 95/01/28 Earl Hood Re: MHonarc: Deleting Messages from an archiv 505 95/01/28 Floyd Moore MHonarc: Deleting Messages from an archive 504 95/01/25 Earl Hood Re: MHonArc 503 95/01/25 Earl Hood Re: MHonArc ...The messages are listed in the same order as they are listed in the archive's index page.
