When RECONVERT is active during an add operation, if a message currently exists in the archive, it will be reconverted. This is basically the same ad deleting a message and re-adding it, with the exception that the message number will be preserved.
Off.
N/A
Generally, RECONVERT is used to selectively re-process individual messages:
| prompt> mhonarc -add -reconvert -outdir /path/to/archive < mesg.822 | 
However, RECONVERT can be used to "rebuild" an archive where message numbers are preserved:
| prompt> mhonarc -add -reconvert -outdir /path/to/archive folder | 
(assuming that folder contains all the original raw messages).
The RECONVERT method is less efficient than the following:
| prompt> rm -r /path/to/archive prompt> mkdir /path/to/archive prompt> mhonarc -outdir /path/to/archive folder | 
But, if folder has had messages deleted from it before the rebuild (for example, to remove spam or objectionable messages), some messages may get assigned different message numbers from the pre-rebuild archive. This can be a problem if people maintain bookmarks to individual messages.
