An index page is created when an archive is generated. MHonArc allows complete
customization over the appearance of the index page including the ability to insert
user defined HTML markup and content-type sensitive icons for the mail
messages processed.

server.

you to read MIME messages that includes images, audio, video, etc via
your Web client.
