Thank you. I have indeed been reading both the man pages and the rand-mh book 
on fs.net
Both are very helpful.

I got so close to that, but always with errors. I'll try fmttest next time.

The mhl man page confuses me. It suggests that mhl looks in
"user's nmh directory" for mhl.format. Is that defined by Path: in .mh_profile?

How do I supress all headers in mhl except those i specifically list?
I see that mhl(1) tells me to list those I want to ignore, then I got confused
by three paragraphs explaining it.

thanks for all your help.
