I'm unsure on some of the details of what you are doing, but
may be the following may work for you:

What you can do is use the DEFINEVAR resource to define
a custom variable that contains the userid you need and reference
the custom variable.  For example:

  shell> mhonarc -definevar USERID="ljs" ...

And in your layout resource, you have:

  <a  href="../users/$USERID$/outbox/msg$MSGNUM$.html">...

If calling mhonarc within a perl program, you can do:

  mhonarc::process_input(
	'-definevar', 'USERID='.$userid,
	## other options here
  );
