Hello hypermail team,

I am using hypermail version 2.1.0, patchlevel 0 and experience the following problem. When periodically generating a hypermail archive of a mailbox that is just appended to with new mail, i.e. no mail is inserted into or deleted from the mailbox, I get index files with links pointing to wrong message files. One clicks on message entry A and gets to see message B. Due to that problem, I am forced to use the -x flag, or even delete the old files before running hypermail, which takes considerable more time on large mailbox-files. The hypermail-command for incremental updates I use is:

hypermail -d <destination directory> -l <folder name> -m <folder file>   -o ihtmlheaderfile=<index header file> -o mhtmlheaderfile=<message header file> -p

The include files are given at the end of this message.

Is this a known problem? And is a hypermail release notes file or web page available?

Thanks,

Jan Stap
