I did
	/usr/bin/mh/inc +tmp

Followed by the script (executed within ~/Mail/tmp):

#!/bin/bash
#
# A little script I wrote which will go through every email in the current
# directory and process it using slocal to distribute the email into the 
# appropriate locations.

for i in [123456789]*; do
  /usr/lib/mh/slocal -verbose < $i
done

But now I am having second thoughts.  I tried this again and this time
copying back the file didn't help.

The other thing I noticed is that although inc from the commandline
worked, there was a long pause before it did.  I noticed the same thing
sometimes happens from exmh - except that at the end of the pause, nothing
was incorporated.

It's all very strange.  I wish there was an option or two to provide debug
information for either nmh or exmh!

Cheers,

Mark.

P.S. I'm about to go on holidays for a week so I won't be able to continue
this thread till I get back.
