How can I get MHonArc to assign IDs to messages in a > given order (by date would be the most useful order for me)? Message numbers are assigned by the order messages are processed. If the input is from a MH-style folder, mhonarc will actually do a numeric sort on the directory contents first to provide some parallel to filename numbers. However, if MHPATTERN resource is customized, the order the files are processed are somewhat arbitrary. You do not specify if you were processing MH-style folders are not. BTW, MHonArc is designed where the message number really does not mean much. Why is the message numbering assignment important to you? --ewh --------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message text UNSUBSCRIBE MHONARC-USERS
