archive by months and years

1999-01-02 Thread Andrzej Kasperowicz
Hi! I think that it would be better, if Earl could set in Mhonarc by default that it would divide messages by months, and years (into separate folders/pages). At present I don't know how to do it, and surveying the documentation I haven't found a simple answer, yet. Could you help me,

Otherindex problem

1999-01-02 Thread Louis Proyect
I have successfully built an index sorted by author using the Otherindex feature, when running from the command line. But when I make the same call from within a Perl script invoked by procmail, the index gets screwed up. Names are not sorted correctly, as indicated in:

It seems like every so often somebody asks a question like this. Unfortunately the examples given on the Mhonarc web page are exceedingly obscure. They seem to be pitched to people who have an advanced understanding of Unix and inter-process communications. I have only been working with Unix (Aix

Check the MSGSEP resource as Al suggests, but I've never used Pegasus mail -- does it store files in mbox format, like Pine or Eudora? if MSGSEP doesn't help you, try posting two consecutive raw messages from your datastore to the list. You can have a look at this messages saved from

Your script, as written, will dutifully extract the date header, parse it, and spool to the wrong directory, because you relied on bad data. In virtually all cases, it's easier, safer, and more accurate to store messages based on the time they arrive, not when they say they were sent.
