MHonArc does not handle archive division by month or year at all. mharc 
does, which is the reason why Earl suggested it.

A long time ago, Earl handed me this script: 
http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/mhonarc-users/1999-11/msg00075.html

I wasn't interested in archive division at that time, but the script was 
designed for handling it (I think). However, making use of such a script 
does require Perl knowledge (unlike most other MHonArc stuff).

Guess you have to put a little effort to study the mharc docs to find out.

But it's not necessary to automate the process. Since you still seem to 
do much of the work manually, you could simply start a new MHonArc 
archive once a year and manually create an umbrella index page.
