Earl, I am not sure what you mean by being at a loss. Perhaps I did not express myself clearly enough. This is not exactly a 'footer' problem in the technical sense of mhonarc parameters, I don't think. Instead it is a problem that I and others have run into. Basically, an index page (in this case, a date index) does not get closed properly. It can run on for millions of bytes until manual intervention takes place. Although I am a big fan of mhonarc, this problem used to drive me crazy. At first, I thought it might have been some pecularity in the panix environment, where I first began using mhonarc. Now it has cropped up on mail-archive.com. If you are convinced that 2.5 has fixed the problem--whatever it is--then I hope that mail-archive.com will update to the latest version, once they fix some performance problems. In any case, right now I have a broken date index out on mail-archive.com but no means to fix it manually, as I used to. This is very aggravating, although I can't blame the mail-archive.com folks who are dedicated and helpful.
