MH-PROFILE(5)        BSD Programmer's Manual        MH-PROFILE(5)NNAAMMEE       mh-profile  -  user  profile  customization for MH message       handlerSSYYNNOOPPSSIISS       _._m_h___p_r_o_f_i_l_eDDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN       Each  user  of  _M_H  is  expected  to  have  a  file  named       _._m_h___p_r_o_f_i_l_e  in his or her home directory.  This file con-       tains a set of user parameters used by some or all of  the       _M_H  family  of  programs.  Each line of the file is of the       format           _p_r_o_f_i_l_e_-_c_o_m_p_o_n_e_n_t: _v_a_l_u_e       The possible profile  components  are  exemplified  below.       Only  `Path:' is mandatory.  The others are optional; some       have default values if they are not present.  In the nota-       tion  used below, (profile, default) indicates whether the       information is kept in the user's _M_H profile  or  _M_H  con-       text, and indicates what the default value is.       Path: Mail                 Locates  _M_H  transactions  in  directory "Mail".                 (profile, no default)       context: context                 Declares the location of the  _M_H  context  file,                 see   the   HHIISSTTOORRYY  section  below.   (profile,                 default: <mh-dir>/context)       Current-Folder: inbox                 Keeps track of the current open  folder.   (con-                 text, default: folder specified by "Inbox")       Inbox:    inbox                 Defines  the  name  of  your  inbox.   (profile,                 default: inbox)       Previous-Sequence: pseq                 Names the sequences which should be  defined  as                 the  `msgs'  or `msg' argument given to the pro-                 gram.  If not present, or  empty,  no  sequences                 are  defined.   Otherwise,  for each name given,                 the sequence is first zero'd and then each  mes-                 sage  is  added  to  the sequence.

Hence,                 "notseen" means all those messages that are  not                 a  member  of the sequence "seen".  (profile, no                 default)       Unseen-Sequence: unseen                 Names the sequences which should be  defined  as                 those  messages  recently  incorporated  by _i_n_c.                 _S_h_o_w knows to remove messages from this sequence                 once it thinks they have been seen.  If not pre-                 sent, or empty, no sequences are defined.   Oth-                 erwise,  each  message is added to each sequence                 name given.  (profile, no default)       mh-sequences: .mh_sequences                 The name  of  the  file  in  each  folder  which                 defines public sequences.  To disable the use of                 public sequences, leave  the  value  portion  of                 this    entry    blank.     (profile,   default:                 .mh_sequences)       atr-_s_e_q-_f_o_l_d_e_r: 172 178-181 212                 Keeps track of the private sequence  called  _s_e_q                 in the specified folder.  (context, no default)       Editor: /usr/ucb/ex                 Defines editor to be used by _c_o_m_p (1), _d_i_s_t (1),                 _f_o_r_w (1),  and  _r_e_p_l (1).   (profile,   default:                 prompter)       Msg-Protect: 644                 Defines octal protection bits for message files.                 See _c_h_m_o_d (1) for an explanation  of  the  octal                 number.  (profile, default: 0644)       Folder-Protect: 711                 Defines  protection bits for folder directories.                 (profile, default: 0711)       _p_r_o_g_r_a_m: default switches                 Sets default switches to be used whenever the mh                 program  _p_r_o_g_r_a_m  is  invoked.  For example, one                 could override  the  _E_d_i_t_o_r:  profile  component                 when  replying to messages by adding a component                 such as:                      repl: -editor /bin/ed                 (profile, no defaults)       _l_a_s_t_e_d_i_t_o_r-next: nexteditor                 Names "nexteditor"  to  be  the  default  editor                 after  using "lasteditor".

After  editing  the draft with "lasteditor", the                 default editor is set to  be  "nexteditor".   If                 the  user  types "edit" without any arguments to                 "What now?", then "nexteditor" is  used.   (pro-                 file, no default)       bboards: system                 Tells  _b_b_c  which BBoards you are interested in.                 (profile, default: system)       Folder-Stack: _f_o_l_d_e_r_s                 The contents of the folder-stack for the  _f_o_l_d_e_r                 command.  (context, no default)       mhe:                 If  present,  tells _i_n_c to compose an _M_H_E audit-                 file in addition to its  other  tasks.   _M_H_E  is                 Brian  Reid's  _E_m_a_c_s front-end for _M_H.  An early                 version is supplied with the _m_h_._6  distribution.                 (profile, no default)       Alternate-Mailboxes: mh@uci-750a, bug-mh*                 Tells  _r_e_p_l  and _s_c_a_n which addresses are really                 yours.  In this way, _r_e_p_l knows which  addresses                 should  be included in the reply, and _s_c_a_n knows                 if  the  message  really  originated  from  you.                 Addresses  must be separated by a comma, and the                 hostnames listed should be the "official"  host-                 names  for  the mailboxes you indicate, as local                 nicknames for hosts are not replaced with  their                 official  site  names.   For  each address, if a                 host is not given, then that address on any host                 is considered to be you.  In addition, an aster-                 isk (`*') may appear at either or both  ends  of                 the  mailbox  and  host  to  indicate  wild-card                 matching.  (profile, default: your user-id)       Aliasfile: aliases other-alias                 Indicates aliases files for _a_l_i, _w_h_o_m, and _s_e_n_d.                 This  may  be  used instead of the `-alias file'                 switch.  (profile, no default)       Draft-Folder: drafts                 Indicates a default draft folder for _c_o_m_p, _d_i_s_t,                 _f_o_r_w, and _r_e_p_l.  (profile, no default)       digest-issue-_l_i_s_t: 1                 Tells  _f_o_r_w  the  last  issue of the last volume                 sent for the digest _l_i_s_t.  (context, no default)[mh.6]                        MH.6.8                            3MH-PROFILE(5)        BSD Programmer's Manual        MH-PROFILE(5)       digest-volume-_l_i_s_t: 1                 Tells  _f_o_r_w  the last volume sent for the digest                 _l_i_s_t.  (context, no default)       MailDrop: .mail                 Tells _i_n_c your maildrop, if different  from  the                 default.   This  is  superceded  by the MMAAIILLDDRROOPP                 envariable.  (profile, default: /var/mail/$USER)       Signature: RAND MH System (agent: Marshall Rose)                 Tells   _s_e_n_d   your  mail  signature.   This  is                 superceded by the SSIIGGNNAATTUURREE envariable.  If SSIIGG--                 NNAATTUURREE  is not set and this profile entry is not                 present, the "gcos"  field  of  the  _/_e_t_c_/_p_a_s_s_w_d                 file  will be used; otherwise, on hosts where _M_H                 was configured with the  UCI  option,  the  file                 $HOME/.signature  is  consulted.  Your signature                 will be added to the address _s_e_n_d  puts  in  the                 "From:" header; do not include an address in the                 signature text.  (profile, no default)       The following profile elements are  used  whenever  an  _M_H       program  invokes some other program such as _m_o_r_e (1).  The       _._m_h___p_r_o_f_i_l_e can be used to select  alternate  programs  if       the  user  wishes.

If the value of MMHH is  not  absolute,  (i.e.,       does  not  begin  with a // ), it will be presumed to start       from the current working directory.
