Ah, great minds do settle into the same groove. :)) as you must have noted from my last message.
env | grep MTS returns nothing, under either wilson or root. Oh oh, I'm embarrassed. /etc/nmh/mts.conf, owned by root, has mod 600. I changed it to 644, and removed the -server option from the send line in .mh_profile-----and send works. My mistake basically was after originally editing mts.conf as su I didn't change the permissions so wilson could read it. Please forgive me for overlooking that. I am very grateful for your help (may hope to have it again).
