...or the docs -- a couple of the man pages are relevant. Here's one --
from the FILES section of the mh-sequence(5) man page:
<mh-dir>/context The user context
<folder>/.mh_sequences Public sequences for <folder>
See the docs for more detail, but the current folder name is in
<mh-dir>/context, current sequence info is in the folder with the
messages in .mh_sequences if the folder is writable, otherwise it's
in <mh-dir>/context.
Have fun!
