What are all the different index types? What are all the different index types?MHonArc catagorizes indexes into to types: main and thread. Main covers indexes listing messages by the following criteria:
When the documentation refers to main index, it refers to the index listing messages by author, date, or subject. Therfore, all resources. and resource variables, that refer to the main index apply to either an author, date, or subject index. The type of main index is controled by the SORT, SUBSORT, AUTHSORT resources.
By default, MHonArc creates a date index and a thread index. Author index support is available only in v2.0 beta 2 or later.
Can I have additional indexes beyond the default main and thread index?Yes. In version 1.2 (or later), a resource was added called OTHERINDEXES. With this resource, you are able to define an arbitrary number of indexes you desire. The additional indexes may be in any format you desire and that is supported by MHonArc. Refer to the documentation for the usage of OTHERINDEXES.
MHonArc will NOT automatically create links to any indexes created via the OTHERINDEXES resource. You will need to modify the relevant index and messages resources to contain the additional links. See the LISTBEGIN and THEAD resources.
Can I have multi-page indexes?Yes, in v2.0 or later. Setting the MULTIPG and IDXSIZE will cause indexes to to be listed across multiple pages with IDXSIZE determine the number of messages listed per page.
Can I sort messages by author?Yes, with v2.0 beta 2, or later.
