Use the -editidx command-line option.  I.e.  You can set SPAMMODE in
your resource file (or on the command-line), and than invoke mhonarc
with your new resource file and the -editidx option.  This will cause
all pages to get updated.  Example usage:

  mhonarc -rcfile myresources.mrc -editidx /path/to/archive

Note, in later releases of mhonarc, setting SPAMMODE will automatically
set MODIFYBODYADDRESSES.  Therefore, new messages will have address
in message bodies modified.  Your Perl script you write is only needed
for existing messages.
