Hi, sorry it took so long to get back to you.
You could put the following in .emacs to get the behavior you want
(I've tested this):
(load "mh-e")
(add-hook 'mh-show-mode-hook (lambda () (toggle-read-only t)))
I will also send on your complaint to the emacs maintainers. I don't
think we will be modifying the Athena behavior locally, though, since
this isn't a big enough issue to warrant maintaining a local change
from stock emacs.
