Mirphealy is a script to archive emails from mailing lists. It exists for two reasons: 1) I wanted to work on my PHP; 2) hypermail.pl lacked true threading but I don't know Perl, so I had to rewrite it in PHP to add threading capability.

Mirphealy is tested with PHP => 4.04pl1 only. I'm pretty sure 95% of it will work with any PHP >= 4, but I'm only using the latest version of PHP available from php.net (currently 4.0.6) and cannot guarantee full compability with older versions of PHP. Consider upgrading if you are running an older version; bugs are always being fixed in PHP.

You will need PHP as a stand-alone binary (ie, compiled to use for the command line). Email me if you need help in doing this. I do not recommend running Mirphealy through a browser!

Testing was done on Linux, but Mirphealy should run on any Unix-like platfrom with command line PHP. Let me know if you experience anything different.

Alternatives: Of course, there's hypermail.pl written by Dylan Northrup, and the original C-based hypermail, found at www.hypermail.org.

Thanks go to Dylan Northrup for writing hypermail.pl - I borrowed a lot of his code in writing Mirphealy. The developers of the original hypermail also deserve many thanks.
