PRINTXCOMMENTS

Syntax

Envariable: M2H_PRINTXCOMMENTS= [ 0 | 1 ]
Element: <PRINTXCOMMENTS>
<NOPRINTXCOMMENTS>
Command-line Option: -printxcomments
-noprintxcomments

Description

PRINTXCOMMENTS determines if special comment declarations are included in archive messages pages. For each message page file, something like the following appears at the beginning:

<!--X-Subject: Hello World! -->
<!--X-From-R13: rneyNrneyubbq.pbz -->
<!--X-Date: Sun May 23 18:35:25 EDT 1999 -->
<!--X-Message-Id: [email protected] -->
<!--X-Content-Type: text/plain -->

Normally, these "X" comments are for informative purposes only and are not required by mhonarc to perform archive operations.

However, the comments can provide important functionality in some cases, for example:

When mha-dbrecover is used: mha-dbrecover uses X comments to reconstruct an archive database file from archive message pages.
Meta-fields for search indexers: Search engines that provide media-type-aware indexing (like Namazu) can key off the X comments when MHonArc message pages are indexed.

If PRINTXCOMMENTS is disabled, X comments will not be printed.

NOTE:

Some X comments — which are intermixed with message page content — will always be printed, even if PRINTXCOMMENTS is disabled. These X comments are critical for performing archive updates.
