I specified UTF-8 conversion in my rcfile, yet whenever mhastart's "add" routine is invoked (via the web), conversion is invariably not carried out. When I looked at the archive database I saw $TextClipFunc='MHonArc::UTF8::clip'; $TextClipSrc='MHonArc/UTF8.pm'; , which looked okay (though I can't be certain). Also, submitting the shell command mhonarc.pl -add -outdir $archive $mbox -rcfile $mrc always worked. So I forced the rcfile to be re-read with each -add by modifying updatearchive, like so: push @ARGV, ( $mbox, '-rcfile', $mrc ) unless $in{routine} eq 'remove'; This gave me the expected results but I remain puzzled as to why this was necessary. Any insight is appreciated.
