Someone that knows mhonarc better then I might know of a way, but, I don't believe cross-month linking is actually possible ... majordomo stores archives by month in mbox format ... mhonarc processes each month and deposits it into a directory YYYY-MM ... without merging all of the mbox files into one huge archive file, and eliminating the YYYY-MM subdirectories, I don't believe that you could do this ... But, as I said, someone with more knowledge about mhonarc may know a way of doing this ... ? ---- Marc G.
