Thanks, Steve. I've pretty much got things working OK with MHonArc and
the results seem to fit the bill. I had a couple of issues with it
that got fixed by a bit of pre-processing of the emails and
post-processing of the resulting html files. If I'm forced to start
again, e.g. if future Python versions break the MHonArc code, I'll
certainly look at Mailman.

Cheers

Jim
