Well, once again I'm attempting to get the .amsalien thing to work but
I'm not having any luck whatsoever. I've done some more purusing of
various manuals, help files, etc.... 

I want to be able to read some of my MH folders using messages. In
theory I should be able to:

	- add ~/Mail to my mspath in preferences
	- create .amsalien in ~/Mail

and then go into CUI and and run scavenge folder-name. Well, 
here's what happens:

CUI> list rush
Getting folder list; please stand by...

</i/salzman/Mail>
(N) rush
(N) rush.pend
CUI> scav rush
Recursively scavenge all subdirectories [No] ?
Purge deletions after scavenging [No] ?
There is no folder named 'rush'.
CUI>

So it sees the folder (when you list) but then it doesn't (when you
scavenge). Btw, this is the version of Andrew that came with X11R4
(haven't had a chance to patch it up yet), on a
Sparcstation-1/SunOS4.03. I ran trace on cui to see what it's actually
doing. I noticed that it's looking for (via an access system call)
.MS_MsgDir in the folder directory and prints the error just before it
complains that there's no folder. Also, there were no calls to anything
that tried to access .amsalien - so that check seems to be getting
skipped altogether.

Nathaniel, once upon a time you sent me a message describing what set
debug options to use to try and track down the problems I was having
(this was in the beta version), and I can't find the message. Can you
send that info to me again? Thanks!! 

Is anyone else attempting to use this feature???!!! Ciao!
