We recently upgraded to version 6.7, and I am now unable to get new
mail into my inbox.  If I try running `inc' directly from a Unix
shell, I get the error message `install-mh: invocation error'.

I tried looking at the source code, but it's formidable.  I found that
the error message itself seems to occur because my file `.mh_profile'
is already defined, but I can't find out why inc calls install-mh.  In
fact, I can't even find out _where_ the call to install-mh is made.
Within the source program inc.c, a macro (I think it's a macro)
`mts_init' is used, but I can't find where it's defined.

I have looked at my environment variables, and they all seem to be
correct.  I think the problem is too obscure for anybody to say much
about it based on the information given here, but would someone be
able to point me to where I could find documentation about the
internal structures and variables used by MH, so that I could try to
track it down myself?

Thank you.
