Before switching, you may want to review htdig's capabilities about
character encodings and its handling of character entity references.
This way you will know if you will have to customize some MHonArc
resources so the HTML generated is friendly with htdig.

Note, this issue mainly applies to the non-English archives that
you host.  Ideally, it would be nice to leverage the UTF-8 support
in MHonArc 2.6 and convert all message to UTF-8 when archived.
Unfortunately, I do not think htdig supports UTF-8.
