okay -- that was silly of me to say i didn't have time.

i have a patch that changes the priority of multiple -prefer switches
to ascending, and also fixes the man pages.  i won't push to master
yet, so as not to step on anyone's toes.

but a question:  even with this, is there still value in a -noprefer
option, to force the default behavior?  my use of -prefer is very
simple (just one -prefer switch, only used by a wrapper script) so i
think i'm not a good judge.

norm -- will the proposed priority order change (which lets -prefer
switches on the command line override those in .mh_profile) solve your
problem?

Yes, it would solve my immediate problem just fine. But, more on behalf of
others than me, I still see advantages of a -noprefer switch
