MHonArc is a Perl program for converting e-mail messages as specified in RFC 822
and RFC 1521 (MIME) to HTML. MHonArc can perform the following tasks:
- Convert
mh(1) mail folders or mail(1) style mailboxes into an HTML mail
archive.
- Add or remove messages to an existing HTML mail archive generated by
MHonArc.
- Convert a single message to HTML.
Along with these tasks, MHonArc provides the following:
- A main customizable index page for mail messages archived.
- A customizable thread index page listing messages by thread.
- Control over message formatting.
- The ability to hook in your own custom message filters.
Here are some reasons for using MHonArc:
- You want to keep organized archives of mail messages and/or news
articles for a World Wide Web (WWW) server; complete with live
hypertext pointers to their authors and to any url's mentioned.
- You would like to control the layout of mail/news archives to keep a
consistent style to your WWW pages.
- You have a WWW client, but no MIME mail reader. MHonArc will allow
you to read MIME messages that includes images, audio, video, etc via
your Web client.
- Muli-platform support: MS-DOS and Unix.
- You think the MHonArc logo is really cool, and it deserves to be used.
- You like Perl, and you want to see what it can do.
- Just cuz.
MHonArc (version 1.1, or later) will run under Unix or MS-DOS operating systems.
