Profile Entries

For each of the different mhn functions, mhn looks for certain kinds of profile entries. Mhn obtains profile information in this order of preference:

  1. From a file named by the $MHN environment variable. This allows you to keep different multi-media message handling profiles for each type of display or workstation that you use. Section [*] gives examples of how to do this.

  2. From your .mh_profile, or in the profile specified by the $MH environment variable.

  3. From the MH library file mhn_defaults (created by your system administrator).

  4. From some built-in defaults for a few simple content types, such as text/plain.

Here is a list of profile entries for which mhn looks:

The default is {\tt more}.
