resources when reading the otherindexes resource files. with one
<em>exception</em>: <a href="../resources/thread.html">THREAD</a> is shut-off.  To avoid overriding the default
index files, I must explicitly redefine <a href="../resources/idxfname.html">IDXFNAME</a> (and <a href="../resources/idxprefix.html">IDXPREFIX</a>
if <a href="../resources/multipg.html">MULTIPG</a> is active).  If I want different layouts for my
other indexes, I must explicitly define those, or they will
use what was ever set in top.mrc (or the applicable default resource setting(s)
when no explicit setting provided).
</p>
<table class="note" width="100%">
<tr valign="baseline">
<td><strong>NOTE:</strong></td>
<td width="100%"><p>
Otherindexes resource file only defines a <strong>single</strong>
index type: main or thread.  If you specify the
<a href="../resources/thread.html">THREAD</a>, a thread index will be
created and all <a href="../resources/main.html">MAIN</a> related resources are ignored.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p> </p>
<table class="caution" width="100%">
<tr valign="baseline">
<td><strong style="color: red;">WARNING:</strong></td>
<td width="100%"><p>
    Do <b>NOT</b> define <a href="../resources/otherindexes.html">OTHERINDEXES</a> in your otherindexes resource files.
    Also, make sure there is no self references.  If you do not heed
    these warnings, you will cause an infinite loop, and/or
    unpredictable results.
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Make sure <a href="../resources/otherindexes.html">OTHERINDEXES</a> resource files are present for all
updates to an archive.  Mhonarc only stores settings for the
default indexes, so the resource files are needed each time
for other indexes.
</p>

<p>What is left out of this example is the redefinition
of navigational based resources.  Since I am adding
more indexes, I would have to redefine resources like
<a href="../resources/toplinks.html">TOPLINKS</a>,
<a href="../resources/botlinks.html">BOTLINKS</a>,
<a href="../resources/listbegin.html">LISTBEGIN</a>,
<a href="../resources/thead.html">THEAD</a>, etc, so there will be links
to the other indexes.
</p>

<hr noshade size=1>
<table border=0>
<tr valign=baseline><td><img src="monicon.png" align="bottom" alt=""></td><td>
<h3><b><a name="attachments">Can I include links to message attachments on index pages?</a></b></h3>
</td></tr></table>

<p>Not directly, but a (dirty) work-around maybe possible.
You can modify the
mhexternal.pl filter to write to a file (name based off the message
number) with some HTML markup that creates the HTML attachment list
(mhexternal.pl knows about content-types and other stuff, so it can
make a useful list).  Note, since mhexternal.pl works on a single part
at a time, it needs to create the list via append operations to the
file.  The implementation is similiar to how mhexternal.pl supports
placing attachments into a subdirectory.  Make sure that mhexternal.pl
returns the file as part of the return value so it is automatically
deleted if the message is removed from the archive.
</p>
<p>Then, you define the <a href="../resources/litemplate.html">LITEMPLATE</a>
resource to use a server-side include
to include the file as part of the message listing.  I did say
it was dirty, but it should work.
