install-mh(8)install-mh(8)NAMEinstall-mh - initialize the MH environment
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/install-mh [-auto]
DESCRIPTION
When a user runs any MH program for the first time, the program invokes
install-mh (with the -auto switch) to query the user for the initial MH
environment. The user does not invoke this program directly. The pro‐
gram prompts for the name of the directory to be designated as the
user's Mail directory. If this directory does not exist, install-mh
asks if it should be created. Normally, this directory should be under
the user's home directory, and has the default name of Mail. After
install-mh has written the initial for the user, control returns to the
original MH program.
As with all MH commands, install-mh first consults the $HOME environ‐
ment variable to determine the user's home directory. If $HOME is not
set, then the /etc/passwd file is consulted.
If the -auto option is used, the current folder is changed to +inbox.
