I have checked in a fairly large set of changes that I described in:
http://www.hypermail.org/hypermail/mail-archive/1999/Sep/0064.html
http://www.hypermail.org/hypermail/mail-archive/1999/Sep/0042.html
They shouldn't affect anyone who doesn't use the new configure options.
This is mostly merging features I added in critmail several years ago,
and the code mostly got extensive testing there.
I have also checked in a script tests/diff_hypermail.pl to compare archives
(which I used to test whether the changes I made affect the output under
common configurations).
Short summary of the new options:
showhtml: new option value 2 gives richer conversion to html borrowed
from txt2html.pl.
monthly_index: create additional index files broken up by month.
yearly_index: create additional index files broken up by year.
thread_file_depth: break the threads index file into multiple files,
roughly one per thread.
linkquotes: creates fine-grained links from quoted text to the text
where the quote originated. It also improves the threads index file
by more accurately matching messages with replies.
searchbackmsgnum: with linkquotes and -u, speeds up processing, with
some risk that linkquotes won't find all links it should.
link_to_replies: generate links from original quoted text to the
location(s) in replies which quote them.
quote_hide_threshold: If the linkquotes option is on, replaces quoted
text with links in messages which quote too much.
quote_link_string: with quote_hide_threshold, use this text in place
of first line of quoted text.
