Oliver, can you file a bug against 'mh'? I'm the mh maintainer.
Maybe it's pretty easy to fix. Please give me as much detail as you
can. I might want to call on you to test the fix too.

Probably in slink, mh will be priority extra and nmh will be priority
standard (the opposite of how it is now). Now is too late to change
it; nmh has some bad interactions with exmh and maybe other programs
also.
Please *do* submit bugs against 'mh'... I'm pretty actively fixing
problems with that package as a glance at the BTS would tell you.
