	mh-rmail doesn't quite work properly on snork. Scanning
messages works fine, but trying to display a message comes up with:

mhl: unable to open format file ~/Mail/mhl.format: No such file or directory

This is the mh-show function failing. I couldn't find a command-line
invocation of mhl that produced the same results. Interestingly,
mh-header-display (invoked with the ',' binding) worked fine.

20 snorklewacker:nathanw>ls -l ~/Mail/mhl.format
-rw-r--r--   1 nathanw  root          421 Nov 21  1997 /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/n/a/nathanw/Mail/mhl.format
22 snorklewacker:nathanw>cat ~/Mail/mhl.format > /dev/null

	So the file exists and is readable by normal processes.

	The emacs I'm running is /usr/athena/bin/emacs.

	- Nathan
