Why, the bit-bucket of course. :-) I didn't think to see if there was any stderr as I thought it was a logic bug preventing the index files from being updated. I know, I know, never attribute to code bugs that which can be explained by administrator-error. :-) > The '>>' will only catch stdout.

Specifically, to subscribe the archiver to the list and have MHonArc process messages as a recipient rather than with the -add?
