ADD

Syntax

Envariable: N/A
Element: N/A
Command-line Option: -add folder1 ...
-add < single-message

Description

The ADD resource instructs MHonArc to add messages to an existing archive. The archive specified does not exist, MHonArc will automatically create the archive. If input is coming from standard in, then the input is treated as a single message to add to the archive.

CAUTION

If ADD is specified, and no archive currently exists, make sure there is no maillist.html file (or the filename specified by IDXFNAME resource) in the destination directory. This can may cause the main index to be incorrect. If this happens, remove maillist.html and use EDITIDX to regenerate archive pages.

When adding, MHonArc will skip any messages that already exists in the archive. This allows one to have MHonArc rescan a mail folder only add any new messages found.

NOTE

MHonArc determines duplicate messages by message-ids.
