6) Edit the file `mhn.defaults' (installed in the nmh `etc' directory).
- This file contains the default profile entries for the nmh command
- `mhn' and is created by the script `mhn.defaults.sh'. This script
- will search a generic path (essentially your $PATH) for programs to
- handle various content types (for example, xv to display images).
- You can re-run this script and give it a more tailored path. You may
- want to re-run this script later if you install new programs to
- display content. An example of this is:

% ./mhn.defaults.sh /usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/ucb > mhn.defaults
The `mhn.defaults.sh' script only searches for a simple set of programs.
If you have specialized programs to handle various types, you will need
to edit the `mhn.defaults' file manually. The syntax of this file is

7) Add an optional global mh.profile, if desired. This profile should be
placed in the nmh `etc' directory with the name `mh.profile'. This
--enable-mhe (DEFAULT)
Add support for the Emacs front-end `mhe'.
---with-editor=EDITOR (DEFAULT is vi)
- specify the full path of the default editor to use. If this
- option is not given, then the configuration process will search
- for the `vi' command and use it as the default. If you wish to
- specify an interface which is compatible with MH, then use the
- nmh command `prompter'. If you specify `prompter', then you don't
- need to give the full pathname.
-
--with-locking=LOCKTYPE (DEFAULT is dot)
Specify the locking mechanism when attempting to "inc" or
"msgchk" a local mail spool. Valid options are "dot",
If either of these options is given then the other must also be
specified.
---with-pager=PAGER (DEFAULT is more)
- Specify the default pager (file lister) to use. If this option
- is not given, then the configuration process will search for the
- command `more' and use it as the default.
