Or, more properly, emacs should have been told where the MH commands
where on its initial load/dump.  See mh-progs and mh-lib in
DIST/lisp/paths.el.

As a workaround, you can force mh-progs and mh-lib to whatever you
want in your .emacs file.  For example, in my .emacs file, I have:

(setq mh-progs "/local/usr/bin" mh-lib "/local/usr/lib/mh")

(Someday, I'll get around to re-dumping emacs with the proper values. :-)

Just another elisp hacker and MH user (and mh-e user),
