Done.

The system is now running mhonarc 2.5.0.

I did not get it to put HTML messages in separate files.  The new
version does defang HTML a bit better than before, and I configured
it to strip out <FONT> tags so people can't annoy me as effectively
with their ugly HTML.  

It will now put text/plain attachments in separate files.  If someone
includes a patch in the text of their message, that'll still be 
inlined in the main HTML page, of course, but if they attach the patch
it'll be handled correctly.

I've been watching the system closely since I upgraded it and I haven't
seen any problems.

PS-  For my next trick, while falling asleep last night I thought
of how to do something neat.  I'll leave it as a surprise for now.

It wouldn't be possible to do both?  Display the attachment inline but 
have it available as a link.  Half the time you're looking through the 
archives to just see what a patch did, the other half you want to 
extract the patch :-(

I guess it is a loose, loose situtation.

(no)

Maybe I didn't describe this well.  You can see an example here:
	http://sources.redhat.com/ml/test-list/2001/msg00028.html

If you're browsing the archives, you can see the patch by clicking on
the attachment.  So there's an extra click involved, but I don't think
this is much of an inconvenience..
