Really? People are still using that? I'd switched to RSS quite
some time ago, using the following resource file. However,
yours looks much further refined. Thanks for sharing!

<!-- This is a MHonArc rcfile designed to generate RSS output. This
    rcfile is called via OTHERINDEXES from the master rcfile. The RSS
    format is designed for computer to computer communications of data,
    and might be used for providing information produced on one web
    site for display or links on another.  RSS contains content
    information -- and absolutely no information regarding how to
    render that content.  I used the following resources when
    implementing RSS support.

    This rcfile depends on a variable $X-MAILLIST$ which must be
    defined in the MHonArc call (using -definevar) Additionally, this
    rcfile has many hardcoded references to mail-archive.com.
