What were you trying to do?
Send a bug report. Now it's a meta-bug report.
What's wrong:
Sendbug still wants a standard MH path, and should be shot
because of this.
What should have happened:
Sendbug should deal when the standard MH setup doesn't exist,
preferably by doing something other than creating the standard setup.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
As usual, none. I do have a sequence of events, though....
Huh? sendbug
Please enter the subject for this bug report. (Generally, this means
the name of the program or locker with which you are having problems.)

Please fill in the specified fields of the bug report form, which will
be displayed momentarily. Remember to save the file before exiting the
editor.
I'm going to create the standard MH path for you.
What now? edit
This left me with shiny new and useless ~/Mail and ~/.mh_profile in my
homedir. I certainly don't want them, and they eat space that I can
be using for something better. At least before, sendbug would ask you
if you wanted the default MH path instead of just making it for you.
