I put the suite of mhmail binaries in /usr/local/mhbin.  None of them
work.  You can play with them and laugh at how miserably they fail.

Some failings:

- If you try to inc a long message, it segfaults.  The long message is
  stored in inbox, but also left on the server.

- It completely ignores ~/.mh_profile.  It always looks for inbox in
  the current directory, and has no idea what the current message is.

- show, prev, next try to use /usr/ucb/more.

- Etc, etc, etc.

Have a nice day.

P.S. The source tree is /usr/local/src/mh-6.8.

P.P.S.  I got the new version of e2fsck from tsx-11, and whatever bug
was in e2fsck must have been fixed, because now we can fsck Keesh.  I
ran it and reclaimed eleven megs.  And there was much rejoycing.
