In fact, while I'm thinking about .mh_profile, earlier
versions of mh disallowed blank lines and comments in the profile,
something I'd very much like to have.
The online MH book (at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/) shows a few
ways to add "comments" to the MH profile. The idea, basically, is to
make a component name that isn't used by any MH command. Just be sure
the first word ends with a colon (:). My favorite is "#:". Example:
#:
#: $Header: /u/jpeek/RCS/.mh_profile,v 2.1 1997/06/05 15:38:40 jpeek Exp $
#:
#: First section: Overall setup for MH

#: backward recursion to work. Thanx to John Robert LoVerso on exmh-users:
