-notedir pathname
NOTEDIR defines the directory location to store annotation data for messages. If NOTEDIR is a relative pathname, it is treated relative to OUTDIR. If NOTEDIR does not exist, MHonArc will attempt to create the directory when an annotation is added to a message.
Each message's annotation is stored in a separate file within NOTEDIR. The filenames used for the annotations are the message-ids of the messages.
| NOTE | This implies that your system supports long filenames. If your system does not, you cannot use the annotation facilities provided by MHonArc. |
Since message-ids are unique, it is possible to have a single notes directory for multiple archives. To do this, set NOTEDIR to the same absolute pathname for each archive. Having a shared location can be useful if you move or recreate archives (no need to re-annotate). Also, if the same message exists in multiple archives, the message will have the same annotation across the archives.
MHonArc will assign message-ids to messages without message-ids. Therefore, annotations can be created for these message.
