[SLL] Looking for a uber-MHonArc

[Anand Vaidya]

Hi All,

I am familiar with MHonArc (and Hypermail) mbox to HTML archivers. However, I 
have the following problem to solve:

- A company has 200 odd developers (located in different countries), who email 
one another regarding ongoing project .

- The team leader wants a searchable (threaded) archive built. The intention 
is to quickly lookup  threads of discussion and glean problems / analysis / 
solutions as well as to generate summaries quickly.

- We discussed wiki, forums etc as alternative documentation solutions, which 
all devs must update online but found those not workable in this specific 
situation and decided to go the MailArchiver route.

My first instinct was to get everyone to CC: a special mailbox and run MHonArc 
on that. This should work in the future.

However, we will miss all the existing mails (stored in Outlook PST, which is 
another problem, since I need to convert PST to mbox) of all the developers.

So when we archive 200+ PSTs/mboxes, we are sure to have hundreds of duplicate 
mails. I am wondering whether any clean solution exists? Or does it need some 
custom scripting work?

Regards
Anand
