;;; Code:

;;; Set for local environment:
;;; mh-progs and mh-lib used to be set in paths.el, which tried to
;;; figure out at build time which of several possible directories MH
;;; was installed into.  But if you installed MH after building Emacs,
;;; this would almost certainly be wrong, so now we do it at run time.

Non-nil means start a background process collecting the names of all

is removed.")

  "Format string containing a regexp matching the scan listing for a message.
The desired message's number will be an argument to format.")

(defvar mhl-formfile nil
  "*Name of format file to be used by mhl to show and print messages.
A value of T means use the default format file.
Nil means don't use mhl to format messages when showing; mhl is still used,
with the default format file, to format messages when printing them.
The format used should specify a non-zero value for overflowoffset so
the message continues to conform to RFC 822 and mh-e can parse the headers.")

Called by `\\[mh-refile-msg]' and `\\[mh-to-fcc]' to get a default
when prompting the user for a folder.  Called from within a save-excursion,
