<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The ADD resource instructs <em>MHonArc</em> to add messages
to an existing archive. The archive specified does not exist,
<em>MHonArc</em> will automatically create the archive. If input
is coming from standard in, then the input is treated as a single
message to add to the archive.
</p>
<table border=0 cellpadding=4>
<tr valign=top>
<td><strong><font color=red>CAUTION</font></strong></td>
<td><p>If ADD is specified, and no archive currently exists, make
sure there is no <b><tt>maillist.html</tt></b> file (or the filename
specified by <a href="idxfname.html">IDXFNAME</a> resource) in
the destination directory. This can may cause the main index to
be incorrect. If this happens, remove <tt>maillist.html</tt> and
use <a href="editidx.html">EDITIDX</a> to regenerate archive pages.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>When adding, <em>MHonArc</em> will skip any messages that
already exists in the archive. This allows one to have <em>MHonArc</em>
rescan a mail folder only add any new messages found.
</p>
<table border=0 cellpadding=4>
<tr valign=top>
<td><strong>NOTE</strong></td>
<td><p>MHonArc determines duplicate messages by message-ids.

<h2>Examples</h2>
<p>The following example shows adding a mail folder:
</p>
<pre>
% <b>mhonarc -outdir /home/ehood/mailarch -add inbox</b>
</pre>
<p>The following shows how a single message can be added.
The message comes from the output of the MH <em>show</em>
program:
</p>
<pre>
% <b>show -noshow -noheader | mhonarc -add</b>
</pre>
