What were you trying to do?
Find a quick fix to the sendbug script requiring MH.
What's wrong:
It calls whatnow, which runs install-mh, and creates unwanted
files in the homedirs of non-MH users.
What should have happened:
It should not do that. Here is a quick fix:
*** /usr/athena/bin/sendbug Sat Aug 10 09:06:09 1991
--- /tmp/sendbug Mon Feb 3 16:04:08 1992

*** 74,79 ****

exit 0
fi
# not using MH; run the editor, and send, ourselves.
+ MH=/dev/null; export MH
if [ "${EDITOR}" = "" ]; then
EDITOR=emacs ; export EDITOR
fi
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
mh-profile(5) describes the MH environment variable.
(This report sent with the modified sendbug by a non-MH user.
