Yes, it is time for the very valuable info from this discussion list to
be archived in an accessable way. As "chefren" suggests, letting
Altavista do the indexing of a set of html files we produce looks like
the easiest way.

There is a utility that converts a mail folder to a set of html files
including a top level index file.  Its called MHonArc.  The URL is:

Clipped from the Intro:

- - - - 
MHonArc is a Perl program for converting e-mail messages as specified in
RFC 822 and RFC 1521 (MIME) to HTML. MHonArc can perform the following
tasks: 

  Convert mh(1) mail folders or mail(1) style mailboxes into an HTML
mail archive. 
  Add new e-mail messages to an existing HTML mail archive generated by
MHonArc. 
  Convert a single message to HTML. 

An index page is created when an archive is generated. MHonArc allows
complete customization over the appearance of the index page including
the ability to insert user defined HTML markup and content-type
sensitive icons for the mail messages processed. 

Requirements 

In order to run MHonArc, you must be using it on a UNIX based system
with Perl 4 installed. It is recommed to have patchlevels 34 or later of
Perl.
