In the words of a famous clown:

	"Homey don't play that."

(Translated, MH doesn't do X.400)

MH is an RFC 822 based mailer.  PP is supposed to have it's own
implementation for X.400/500 delivery.  Perhaps one year someone
will take some time to build X.400 into MH, but for now I don't
see any conceivable way of using MH for X.400 delivery.  But
the front-end interface is very attractive given that you compile
it with VERYDUMB and use.

I once read that behemoth of documentation and they were
rather vague about MH and 822 delivery.  I do believe, though, that
they gave a sample configuration entry for mh.  I forgot where or
for what because I've gotten rid of the docs.  If someone has
implemented MH on PP, how they did it would make a good section in
the FAQ or perhaps it would be nice to have all of the MH-specific
PP config files in the miscellaneous distribution.
