Good. That makes me feel a lot bettern.

The other way is to store your default entries in a file named
mhn.defaults in your Mail directory. I've had them there for years
(roughly since the days when Richard Coleman was working on nmh) and
had largely forgotten why they were there.
Oooh. That's exactly what I want to happen. Thank you very much.
The man page is incorrect. Can I submit a bug?
MH-PROFILE(5)
NAME
mh-profile - user profile customization for nmh message handler
Profile Lookup
After consulting .mh_profile, some programs read an optional profile
specified by a program-specific environment variable,
then load the user's ~/Mail/mhn.defaults,
and then the sys-
tem-wide profile /usr/local/nmh/etc/mhn.defaults. These programs are
mhbuild, mhshow, mhstore, and mhn. mhfixmsg is similar, but has no
optional profile.
Indeed, it would appear that "show" (for example) only checks the .mh_profile
and neither ~/Mail/mhn.defailts nor /usr/local/nmh/etc/mhn.defaults .
Another bug? Or intentional?
