I'm a new user to mh. I'm running on a couple different HP-UX systems
with these options:
   version: MH 6.6 #1[UCI] (ics) of Tue May 24 15:51:53 PDT 1988
   options: [ATZ] [SYS5] [BERK] [TTYD] [DUMB] [NDIR] [MHE] [NETWORK]
            [RPATHS] [MHRC] [SBACKUP='"#"'] [MORE='"/usr/bin/more"']
            [SENDMTS] [SMTP]

Some questions...
1) Should I be using the "BERK" option on HP-UX? any other options
   that I should change?

2) For lack of knowing any better alternatives...I've done a script
   that scans my +inbox piping the results to a nawk script that spits
   out refile commands to auto-file my mail into appropriate folders.
   I also want to "bounce" some messages to other people. Is there
   some way to do this with mh/dist/rcvdist/whatever without having to
   do an edit? I always get something like this from rcvdist:
       -- Posting for All Recipients --
      post: problem initializing server; [BHST] no servers available
      /net/sw/mh/lib/post: Exit 1

   I tried using dist with -form <file> where the file had a
      Resent-To: addr1 addr2
   line in it using the command
      dist 16 -anno -nodraft -noedit -nowhat -inplace -form <file>
   and nothing got delivered.

   What I'm currently doing is doing an 'anno' of the message to add
   an "X-Bounced-To" header, then feeding it to /usr/lib/sendmail -...
   Is the "recommended" way of doing such things?

3) Is there any better way of "auto-filing" the messages? I've looked
   .maildelivery stuff, but it didn't seem to be flexible enough for
   I wanted to do.

4) My mh messages seem to end with a couple of Return-Path headers. Is
   inc adding one to them? Should it be?

Thanx,
