Hello, It seems that using a non-absolute MH variable doesn't work when an MH program chdir's and exec's a child that needs to read the profile. (Example below involving show and mhshow.) By inspection, setting MH to the resolved, absolute pathname inside context_read suffices to solve the problem I've encountered, but I don't know the overall codebase well enough to understand if it goofs up something elsewhere. Thank you, Richard $ pwd /home/me/test $ cat mh-profile Path: test/Mail Unseen-Sequence: unseen $ export PATH=/usr/local/nmh/bin:$PATH MH=mh-profile; scan cur > /dev/null $ echo $? 0 $ export PATH=/usr/local/nmh/bin:$PATH MH=mh-profile; show cur > /dev/null mhshow: unable to read the `/home/me/test/Mail/inbox/mh-profile' profile specified by your MH environment variable $ echo $? 1

Description: Coerce $MH to an absolute pathname in context_read.
