If NOTEDIR is a relative pathname, it is treated relative to <a href="outdir.html">OUTDIR</a>. If NOTEDIR does not exist, MHonArc will attempt to create the directory when an annotation is added to a message. </p> <p>Each message's annotation is stored in a separate file within NOTEDIR. The filenames used for the annotations are the message-ids of the messages. </p> <table border=0 cellpadding=4> <tr valign=top> <td><strong>NOTE</strong></td> <td><p>This implies that your system supports long filenames. If your system does not, you cannot use the annotation facilities provided by MHonArc. </p> </td> </tr> </table> <p>Since message-ids are unique, it is possible to have a single notes directory for multiple archives. To do this, set NOTEDIR to the same absolute pathname for each archive. Having a shared location can be useful if you move or recreate archives (no need to re-annotate). Also, if the same message exists in multiple archives, the message will have the same annotation across the archives. </p> <p>MHonArc will assign message-ids to messages without message-ids. Therefore, annotations can be created for these message. </p> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Default Setting</h2> <pre> notes </pre> <!-- *************************************************************** --> <hr> <h2>Resource Variables</h2> <table border=1> <tr bgcolor="#C0C0C0"> <th>Variable</th><th>Value</th> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="BUTTON" href="../rcvars.html#BUTTON"><strong><code>$BUTTON$</code></strong></a></td> <td>Button markup linking to a message.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="DATE" href="../rcvars.html#DATE"><strong><code>$DATE$</code></strong></a></td> <td>The date of the message.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="DDMMYYYY" href="../rcvars.html#DDMMYYYY"><strong><code>$DDMMYYYY$</code></strong></a></td> <td>Message date in dd/mm/yyyy format.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="DOCURL" href="../rcvars.html#DOCURL"><strong><code>$DOCURL$</code></strong></a></td> <td>URL to documentation.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="ENV" href="../rcvars.html#ENV"><strong><code>$ENV$</code></strong></a></td> <td>Value of an environment variable.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="FROM" href="../rcvars.html#FROM"><strong><code>$FROM$</code></strong></a></td> <td>The complete text in the <tt>From:</tt> field of the message.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="FROMADDR" href="../rcvars.html#FROMADDR"><strong><code>$FROMADDR$</code></strong></a></td> <td>The e-mail address in the <tt>From:</tt> field of the message.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="FROMADDRDOMAIN" href="../rcvars.html#FROMADDRDOMAIN"><strong><code>$FROMADDRDOMAIN$</code></strong></a></td> <td>The e-mail address domain of the <tt>From:</tt> field of the message.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="FROMADDRNAME" href="../rcvars.html#FROMADDRNAME"><strong><code>$FROMADDRNAME$</code></strong></a></td> <td>The e-mail address "username" (or local-part) of the <tt>From:</tt> field of the message.</td> </tr> <tr valign=top> <td align=center><a name="FROMNAME" href="../rcvars.html#FROMNAME"><strong><code>$FROMNAME$</code></strong></a></td> <td>The human name of the person in the <tt>From:</tt> field of the message.
