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 new e-mail messages to an existing HTML mail archive generated by
MHonArc.
- Convert a single message to HTML.
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.
Here are some reasons for using MHonArc:
- You need to archive mailing lists for use in a World Wide Web (WWW)
server.
- You want to archive newsgroup postings for use in a WWW server.
- 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.
- 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.
In order to run MHonArc, you must be using it on a UNIX based system with Perl
4 installed. It is recommed to have patchlevels 34 or later of Perl.
