This file contains a set ofuser parameters used by some or all of the \fIMH\fRfamily of programs.  Each line of the file is of the format    \fIprofile\-component\fR: \fIvalue\fRThe 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 notation used below,(profile, default) indicates whether the information is kept in the user's\fIMH\fR profile or \fIMH\fR context,and indicates what the default value is..in +1i.ti -1iPath: Mail.brLocates \fIMH\fR transactions in directory \*(lqMail\*(rq.(profile, no default).ti -1icontext: context.brDeclares the location of the \fIMH\fR context file,see the \fBHISTORY\fR section below.(profile, default: <mh\-dir>/context).ti -1iCurrent\-Folder:\ inbox.brKeeps track of the current open folder.(context, default: folder specified by \*(lqInbox\*(rq).ti -1iInbox:	inbox.brDefines the name of your inbox.(profile, default: inbox).ti -1iPrevious\-Sequence:\ pseq.brNames the sequences which should be defined as the `msgs' or `msg'argument given to the program.If not present, or empty, no sequences are defined.Otherwise,for each name given,the sequence is first zero'd and then each message is added to the sequence.(profile, no default).ti -1iSequence\-Negation:\ not.brDefines the string which, when prefixed to a sequence name,negates that sequence.Hence,\*(lqnotseen\*(rq means all those messages that are not a member ofthe sequence \*(lqseen\*(rq.(profile, no default).ti -1iUnseen\-Sequence:\ unseen.brNames the sequences which should be defined as those messages recentlyincorporated by \fIinc\fR.\fIShow\fR knows to remove messages from this sequence once it thinks theyhave been seen.If not present, or empty, no sequences are defined.Otherwise,each message is added to each sequence name given.(profile, no default).ti -1imh\-sequences:\ \&.mh\(rusequences.brThe 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\(rusequences).ti -1iatr\-\fIseq\fR\-\fIfolder\fR:\ 172\0178\-181\0212.brKeeps track of the private sequence called \fIseq\fR in the specified folder.(context, no default).ti -1iEditor:\ /usr/ucb/ex.brDefines editor to be used by \fIcomp\fR\0(1), \fIdist\fR\0(1), \fIforw\fR\0(1), and \fIrepl\fR\0(1).(profile, default: @(MHEDITOR)).ti -1iMsg\-Protect:\ 644.brDefines octal protection bits for message files.See \fIchmod\fR\0(1) for an explanation of the octal number.(profile, default: 0644).ti -1iFolder\-Protect:\ 711.brDefines protection bits for folder directories.(profile, default: 0711).ti -1i\fIprogram\fR:\ default switches.brSets default switches to be used whenever the mh program\fIprogram\fR is invoked.For example, one could override the \fIEditor\fR:profile component when replying to messages by adding acomponent such as:.br	repl: \-editor /bin/ed.br(profile, no defaults).ti -1i\fIlasteditor\fR\-next:\ nexteditor.brNames \*(lqnexteditor\*(rq to be the default editor after using \*(lqlasteditor\*(rq.This takes effect at \*(lqWhat now?\*(rq level in\fIcomp\fR, \fIdist\fR, \fIforw\fR, and \fIrepl\fR.After editing the draft with \*(lqlasteditor\*(rq,the default editor is set to be \*(lqnexteditor\*(rq.If the user types \*(lqedit\*(rq without any arguments to \*(lqWhat now?\*(rq,then \*(lqnexteditor\*(rq is used.(profile, no default).ti -1ibboards: system.brTells \fIbbc\fR which BBoards you are interested in.(profile, default: system).ti -1iFolder\-Stack: \fIfolders\fR.brThe contents of the folder-stack for the \fIfolder\fR command.(context, no default).ti -1imhe:.brIf present, tells \fIinc\fR to compose an \fIMHE\fR auditfile in addition toits other tasks.\fIMHE\fR is Brian Reid's \fIEmacs\fR front-end for \fIMH\fR.An early version is supplied with the \fImh.6\fR distribution.(profile, no default).ti -1iAlternate\-Mailboxes: mh@uci\-750a, bug-mh*.brTells \fIrepl\fR and \fIscan\fR which addresses are really yours.In this way, \fIrepl\fR knows which addresses should be included in the reply,and \fIscan\fR knows if the message really originated from you.Addresses must be separated by a comma,and the hostnames listed should be the \*(lqofficial\*(rq hostnames for themailboxes 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 asterisk (`*') may appear at either or both ends of the mailbox and hostto indicate wild-card matching.(profile, default: your user-id).ti -1iAliasfile: aliases other-alias.brIndicates aliases files for \fIali\fR, \fIwhom\fR, and \fIsend\fR.This may be used instead of the `\-alias file' switch.(profile, no default).ti -1iDraft\-Folder: drafts.brIndicates a default draft folder for \fIcomp\fR, \fIdist\fR, \fIforw\fR,and \fIrepl\fR.(profile, no default).ti -1idigest\-issue\-\fIlist\fR:\ 1.brTells \fIforw\fR the last issue of the last volume sent for the digest\fIlist\fR.(context, no default).ti -1idigest\-volume\-\fIlist\fR:\ 1.brTells \fIforw\fR the last volume sent for the digest \fIlist\fR.(context, no default).ti -1iMailDrop: .mail.brTells \fIinc\fR your maildrop, if different from the default.This is superceded by the \fBMAILDROP\fR envariable.(profile, default: @(MHDROPLOC)).ti -1iSignature: RAND MH System (agent: Marshall Rose).brTells \fIsend\fR your mail signature.This is superceded by the \fBSIGNATURE\fR envariable.If \fBSIGNATURE\fR is not set and this profile entry is not present,the \*(lqgcos\*(rq field of the \fI/etc/passwd\fP file will be used;otherwise,on hosts where \fIMH\fR was configured with the UCI option,the file $HOME/.signature is consulted.Your signature will be added to the address \fIsend\fPputs in the \*(lqFrom:\*(rq header;do not include an address in the signature text.(profile, no default).in -1iThe following profile elements are used whenever an \fIMH\fR programinvokes some other program such as \fImore\fR\0(1).The \fI\&.mh\(ruprofile\fR can be used to select alternateprograms if the user wishes.  The default values are given inthe examples..nf.in +.5i.ta \w'whatnowproc:  'u^fileproc:~^@(MHBINPATH)/refile^incproc:~^@(MHBINPATH)/inc^installproc:~^@(MHETCPATH)/install\-mh^lproc:~^/usr/ucb/more^mailproc:~^@(MHBINPATH)/mhmail
