- ...or the docs -- a couple of the man pages are relevant. Here's one --
- from the FILES section of the mh-sequence(5) man page:
-
- <mh-dir>/context The user context
- <folder>/.mh_sequences Public sequences for <folder>
-
- See the docs for more detail, but the current folder name is in
- <mh-dir>/context, current sequence info is in the folder with the
- messages in .mh_sequences if the folder is writable, otherwise it's
- in <mh-dir>/context.

- Have fun!
