Can you point us to an exact email that has been skipped?  If
you find a message that has been skipped, verify that its message-id
is not a duplicate of an existing archived message.

(BTW, the message-id for your message to this list is not proper.
 It fails to have a fully-qualified domain portion, increasing the
 probability of non-uniqueness.)

This message indicates that you received a message with no known
content-type.  MHonArc will fallback to using the filter registered
for the application/octet-stream to process the last part of the
multipart/alternative.  Regardless, you should still get a message
page in your archive for the message.

As for better error messages, yes, MHonArc does need them.  Something
that definitely needs improvement.
