<A HREF="http://www.pobox.com/~ehood/MIME/MIME.html">the
MIME standard</A> to <A
HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/MarkUp/">HTML</A>.
MHonArc can perform the following tasks: </P>

<UL>
<LI>Convert <a href="http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/"><em>MH</em></a>
mail folders or UUCP/Unix style mailboxes into an HTML mail archive.
<LI>Add or remove messages to an existing HTML mail archive generated

<LI>A customizable thread index listing messages by thread.
<LI>Control over message formatting.

<hr>
<H2><a name="whyuse">Why Use MHonArc?</a></H2>
