I agree and thus I think the "sortm -noall and ~/.mh_profile entry for
those who like it" idea is the best proposal yet.

I see in EXMH...

 mh.tcl:    if {[catch {eval {MhExec sortm +$f} $args} err]} {

and in MH-V...

 prompt.pl:    &mhv_exec("sortm -textfield date +$cur_folder");
 prompt.pl:    &mhv_exec("sortm -textfield from -limit 0 +$cur_folder");
 prompt.pl:    &mhv_exec("sortm -textfield subject -limit 0 +$cur_folder");
 prompt.pl:    &mhv_exec("sortm -textfield to -limit 0 +$cur_folder");

...fyi.
