I'm not using MacMH (I believe its coming), and I'm also not
using MH 6.6 yet, still on MH 6.5.  However I have seen the
POP server problem you refer to (it really only wants to work
with MMDF format mailboxes).

I have some fixes for it which seem to work here, and I have been
told that they work for MH 6.6 as well.

They aren't particularly elegant, and in particular, the unix "From_"
line is lost completely (so if you're using MH as a pop client, it
doesn't have the opportunity to turn this line into a Return-Path
which it would if the mailbox was local).

Still, I have been using it for months now.

There are just a couple of changed files from MH, if someone can suggest
a suitable distribution method (I don't plan on mailing it to the US more
than once) I'd be happy to make it available.
