Hi!
I have two questions about using MH!
On deleting messages by using rmm, the message file is
renamed from "number" to ",number".
Is there a way to automatically get these files cleaned
from MH up and not left lying around?
Also, is it possible to use MH as the default mailer with rn
instead of Rnmail. If so, how is this done?
Thanks!

Well, I run something like find $HOME/Mail -name ',*' -atime +1 -print | xargs rm from my crontab once per night. Works well, and if you accidentally deleted a message in the last day you have a (small) chance to recover it. >Also, is it possible to use MH as the default mailer with rn >instead of Rnmail. If so, how is this done? Yes, it is. If you have access to the MH source, look in the miscellany directory for something to do with rn. For those who don't have access to the MH source, try this: In .profile (or the appropriate thing in .login or .cshrc), add this: MAILHEADER='To: %t\ Subject: %(%i=^$?:Re: %S\ Newsgroups: %n\ In-Reply-To: %i)\ %(%[references]!=^$?References\: %[references]\ )Organization: %o\ \ ' MAILPOSTER="$HOME/bin/rnmail %h" export MAILHEADER MAILPOSTER rn uses MAILPOST and MAILHEADER when replying to articles with r or R. And here's my $HOME/bin/rnmail: #! /bin/sh export PATH || (echo "OOPS, this isn't sh. Desperation time. I will feed myse lf to sh."; sh $0; kill $$) cat=/bin/cat echo=/bin/echo test=/bin/test defeditor=prompter draftfile=`mhpath +`/rndraft dotdir=${DOTDIR-${HOME-$LOGDIR}} $cat $1 > $draftfile if $test -f $dotdir/.signature; then $echo "--" >> $draftfile $cat $dotdir/.signature >> $draftfile fi exec comp -nodraftfolder -use -editor ${VISUAL-${EDITOR-$defeditor}} -file $draftfile And that should do it. Have fun! -Dave
