Steps to reproduce:
1.) In a clean account, put this in ~/.mh_profile:
Path: Mail
Editor: emacs
Msg-Protect: 600
Folder-Protect: 700
Prompter-next: emacs
rmmproc: delete
unseen-sequence: unseen
or probably using any nmh command will automatically generate this.
2.) Delete ~/Mail if it exists.
3.) Start exmh.
It will hang interminably. It should detect the situation and offer
to re-create ~/Mail, just like nmh commands like scan will.
-B.
