In that case, we might be able to add a Default.py variable to control 
this.

A laudable goal.

BTW, I just converted my first mbox to HTML using MHonArc.  There are
some things I don't like (where are the by-author and by-date
archives?  Can I split my months and give an overview similar to
Pipermail?  Perhaps I can and haven't read enough of the manual...)
