As quoted from <437@ucdavis.ucdavis.edu> by windley@iris.ucdavis.edu (Phil Windley):

| Does anyone use emacs with mh (mail handler)?  I would like to be able

| suspending emacs and typing comp, only to have to wait for another
| emacs process to start.  Any help would be appreciated.
+---------------

Try M-X mh-smail.  Or M-X mh-smail-other-window, if you prefer.  I have rebound
C-Xm, C-Xs, and C-X4s to invoke the MH stuff instead of RMAIL.  In case you're
interested, the lisp sources are in $EMACS/lisp/mh-e.el.

I have a question about mh-e, by the way:  I can't see a way to get out of
it without doing a switch-to-buffer (C-xb) and naming the buffer; I have
kluged around this for now by having C-xr call a function which saves the
current buffer in a variable and calling mh-rmail, then setting up an
mh-folder-mode-hook which binds 'q' to a function which restores the original
buffer after doing a (bury-buffer (current-buffer)).  But this leaves
(other-buffer) as "scan-+inbox"; I could (bury-buffer (other-buffer)) as well,
but what if there are other mh-rmail buffers as well?  (Please don't tell me
to RTFM; no manual as yet, I'll have to order one.)
