I changed my monthly-ml-tasks scripts to create a placeholder index.html if a directory had no mail notes archived in it yet. This was to avoid the problem where the /ml/libstdc++/index.html has a "April - June 2000" link, but when the user clicks on it, they get a "Permission denied" or "File not found" error because there is nothing in that directory yet. My script created a little one-paragraph index.html which said "No messages for this time period yet". Much better than an error, which made people think something was wrong with sourceware. It looks like that placeholder index.html has confused mhonarc greatly. It has happened for a few other lists, as well. I'll fix them tonight by hand and see if there is a way I can make my placeholder page w/o confusing mhonarc. Jason
