Comment 8 for bug 684668

I think I understand the nature of the problem. MHonArc silently falls back to bad defaults. We must always specify the -dbfile and -outdir because most operations involved a comparison of the two. In this case we will see reports that the messages were not found in the archive (the html directory), then it wrote out new html files. We did not see an update because we were looking at the expected -outdir that we never specified; I do not know where we generated the other archives ;).

I updated the howto with the explicit options that allowed me to perform a delete that updates the correct archive.
