For a plain 24×80 ASCII character terminal, or a plain shell window with no special X Window System display configuration, here are some reasonable mhn-related lines to place in your ˜/.mh_profile file:
Comment-100: ================================================== Global mhn-related parameters: ================================================== lproc: show mhnproc: mhn mhn: -list -nomoreproc mhn-storage: /usr/tmp Comment-200: ================================================== File name templates for storing certain types of message parts: ================================================== mhn-store-text: %m%P.txt mhn-store-application/PostScript: %m%P.ps Comment-300: ================================================== Shell commands for mhn to invoke when mhn encounters certain types of message parts: ================================================== mhn-show-text/plain: more '%F' mhn-show-message/rfc822: show -file '%F' mhn-show-text/richtext: richtext -p '%F'
Another profile item that you may find useful is this:
Comment-400: ================================================== Instructions to whatnow(1): ================================================== automhnproc: mhn
Each line beginning with mhn- has meaning for a different mhn
function:
What follows any of these mhn function prefixes is a type. When mhn finds a message part of a particular type, mhn looks for profile entries relevant to that type. For example, to display something of type text/richtext, mhn looks for the profile entry mhn-show-text/richtext.
The list of pre-defined types can be found in appendix .
Here is an explanation of each line of the profile:
