That makes sense. > Hm. Looking at things further .... right now "mhaltmsg" is designed > to be used by things like "send" (it uses it when doing "dist").

It's the only lower-case environment variable that doesn't start with "mh". Looking at the descriptions of $editalt and $mhfolder in mh-profile(5), I think we should move the description from $editalt to $mhaltmsg. And keep $editalt, of course, but just note that it's a synonym for $mhaltmsg. I updated the mh-profile, dist, and repl man pages to note that @ is only created with -atfile.
