mhmail: Read the context!
mhmail will change from a mailx-replacment to an alternative to
`comp -ed prompter', thus being a send front-end. Hence, mhmail
should not stay outside the profile/context respecting mmh toolchest.

+.SH HISTORY
+.B mhmail
+was intended as a replacement for the standard Berkeley
+mail program
+.RB ( mail
+or
+.BR mailx ),
+which is compatible with
+.BR nmh .
+This program was intended for the use of programs such as

+which expect to send mail automatically to various
+addresses.  It was also used by various
+.B nmh
+commands to mail various

+When invoked without arguments, it had simply invokes
+.B inc
+to incorporate new messages from the user's maildrop.
+
+.SH BUGS
+.B mhmail
+should no longer try to replace
+.BR mailx ,
+but become a mail sending front-end to
+.B comp
+or
+.BR send ,
+which is more convenient in some situations.
