I have no control over the FreeBSD repackaging of mhonarc. You can download mhonarc directly from www.mhonarc.org. The mha-mhedit program is contained in the extras/ directory. BTW, here is the .mh_profile settings I use for mha-mhedit: mha-mhedit: -editor vim -htmlconv w3m mha-mhedit-lynx: -stdin -dump -force_html -nolist -width=76 mha-mhedit-w3m: -dump -cols 76 -T text/html mha-mhedit-next: vim I actually do not have mha-mhedit invoked all the time since I do not need its facilities all the time. I have a shell alias called 'mrepl' that is defined as follows: repl -editor mha-mhedit I use it if I ever need to reply to an HTML or multipart message. I guess if the performance of mha-mhedit is not a problem for you, then having it invoked by default for repl should not be a problem. You can run perldoc directly on mha-mhedit to view its manpage. --ewh
