You should start mh-e throught one of mh-rmail, mh-smail and
mh-smail-other-window. These call the function that sets things up.
mh-rmail and mh-smail are set up in emacs to autoload mh-e so you dont
even have to load it yourself.

I always start mh-e by mh-rmail, In fact I put

(global-set-key "\C-xm" 'mh-rmail)

into my .emacs file so that I can wake it up more easily.

I think this will make your problems go away.

(I worked this out by reading the code.  Is it described anywhere?)

Owen.
