Getting mh-e
============

   The version of mh-e in the current version of Emacs should be up to
date. It is most likely to be more up to date than the copy that comes
with the MH distribution in `miscellany/mh-e'.

   New mh-e releases are always available for downloading at
SourceForge
(https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13357) before
they appear in an Emacs release. You can read the release notes on that
page to determine if the given release of mh-e is already installed in
your version of Emacs.

   If you go this route, I suggest that you extract the files from
`mh-e-M.N.tgz' in the following fashion:

     % cd                                  # Start in your home directory
     % mkdir lib lib/emacs                 # Create directory for mh-e
     % cd lib/emacs
     % zcat PATH/TO/mh-e-M.N.tgz | tar xvf -    # Extract files

   To use these new files, add the following to `~/.emacs':

     (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/lib/emacs") load-path))

   That's it!  If you're already running Emacs, please quit that session
and start again to load in the new mh-e.  Check that you're running the
new version with the command `M-x mh-version' after running any mh-e
command.  The distribution comes with a file called `MH-E-NEWS' so you
can see what's new.
