Subject: MHonArc and "FOLDER INTERNAL DATA"

I'm using MHonArc to translate some of my mail folders into an indexed
html archive.  If you haven't tried MHonArc, it's great.  Read about it
here:

http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/mhonarc.html

I'm having a problem with the FOLDER INTERNAL DATA messages created by
pine.  For example, see here:

http://taxa.psyc.missouri.edu/bgnews/1999/

Every time I update, the FOLDER INTERNAL DATA message has changed, so it
is added again.  I know that I can turn off this pine feature, but I
really only want to turn it off for certain folders.  Is it possible to do
that?  If not, the added flexibility is a feature I could use.

Does anyone else have experience with MHonArc and the new pine folders?  
I can't find a way to make MHonArc ignore the FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
messages.  I'd really appreciate a tip on this if you have a minute.

Thanks very much,

Mike

I read pine-info in digest form, so if there have been replies on the
list, I have missed them so far.  I just thought I should say a couple of
things in response to my own question.  First, my example URL showing the
FOLDER INTERNAL DATA problem is no longer valid because I have fixed it

> http://taxa.psyc.missouri.edu/bgnews/1999/

What I'm doing is using the 'tail' command do get rid of the first part of
the mbox before I run mhonarc on it:

tail +13 path/folder > ! path/folder.fixed
mhonarc -outdir archivepath -add path/folder.fixed

It seems that "tail +13" handles every folder properly.  It works for me,
but I have enough disk space and relatively small archives.

I did verify that MHonArc cannot exclude messages based on the subject.

Regards,

Mike
