[comp.soft-sys.andrew] reading mh folders with Messages

ccaaarb@ucl.ac.uk (11/14/90)

How do you get Messages (and cui, vui) to read mh folders ? I tried
placing an .amsalien file in the folder root, but Messages still could
not read the folder. Is this facility for mh folders or for bbc (ie.
msh) bulletin boards ? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure anyone has actually gotten it to work.  But basically, just
putting the .amsalien file is not enough; you must also use CUI to
scavenge or reconstruct the index files, at least as often as you use
the MH "inc" command...  -- Nathaniel
