archive2.pl is not the right tool to use for this.  You want to split up
the digests into individual messages.  Of course, they will be lacking much
of the stuff that makes good archives (real threading, proper MIME
encapsulation, etc) but MHonArc should be able to cope.

I suggest you get and install Procmail (do a web search) and use the
formail tool that comes with it to split the digests:

formail +1 -ds >> listname.yyyymm < digest.whatever

Well sure, that works for taking single messages in standard input and
putting them in the proper archive.  But archive2.pl isn't a tool to
convert digests.  I can't imagine where you would get the idea that it is.
