The problem has the following facets:
Computers with misset clocks screw up 'Date:'
MH's 'pick -before/-after' command probably uses 'Date:'
Imports emphasize the 'Date:' header
Importing by bounce adds an unhelpful 'Received:' header.
Solution sets that I see are:
a1) ask mailme to do monthly sorts off of received headers
a2) find another way to do imports
b1) ask mailme to do monthly sorts off of x-archive-with-date
headers primarily, received headers secondarily
b2) modify bounce.pl to generate x-archive-with-date based on
received headers.
What I don't like is the extra complexity that all this will entail,
and also the fact that it would require duplicating some of the
functionality already found in MHonArc. Again, I'm going to ignore
this all for a while and worry about installing bigger disks.

Nope. Attachments are placed in subdirectories; this is specified in
the default rcfile. As far as fancy htdig configuration tricks, I've
found the htdig users mailing list extremely hlful ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
so they may be able to help. Maybe we can restrict htdig to messages
only by telling htdig to only read .html files?

Patches are always appreciated.
