I really must agree.  The flexibility and tailorability possible is the single
most appreciated element of MH to me.

I have never quite understood this.  I run MMDF at our site, and have used
MH since version 5 (2 1/2 years or so ago).  I think that originally the
developer/maintainer of MH was particularly familiar with MMDF and that is
where that comment came from.  The interactions with MMDF's submit process
are not exactly obvious.  Actually, if you let MMDF post mail via SMTP
(even on the local host) I don't think it matters much what your transport
system is.  This is all just my opinion, of course.
