Yes, but not with the current mhonarc code base. I.e. You have to do some coding to make it happen. > I've had a bit of a look through the code, and maybe it could be done > quickly by changing msgnum_filename in mhutil.pl to use > get_time_from_index, and then print that into the filename with DIRSEP... Possibly, but there may be other parts of mhonarc that this can adversly affect. I think doing things so custom filenaming can be done, but if you introduce a directory portion, things can break, like with the resolution of various resource variables. > I figured I'd ask first though before getting too far along that track. If you are serious about implementing a solution, I recommend subscribing to mhonarc-dev for any further discussions. --ewh
