What's wrong:
The "SEE ALSO" section of the mh man pages is quite bad. For
example, a user in olc asked how to remove a mail folder. I
couldn't remember the exact command, but I figured, that if the
correct command wasn't folder, at least the folder(1) man page would
have a reference to the correct command. It doesn't. Neither does
packf(1), inc(1), or scan(1).
It was only by an intuitive guess ("Hmm.... rmm is to delete a
message, so maybe rmf is to delete a folder!") that I was able to
find the correct command.
What should have happened:
The mh man pages should be cross-referenced usefully.
