Summary: mh-utils ignores $MH value

Initial Comment:
=========================================================

package: mh-e-8.0.3

file:    mh-utils.el

=========================================================

During first run sanity checks when mh-find-path-run
has not been set, mh-utils checks if the environmental variable MH has been set and points to a readable file

--------------------------------------------------------
    (if (and (getenv "MH")
             (not (file-readable-p (getenv "MH"))))
        (error "MH environment variable contains unreadable file %s"
               (getenv "MH")))
--------------------------------------------------------

but then after a check on mh-variants

--------------------------------------------------------
    (if (null (mh-variants))
        (error "Install MH and run install-mh before running MH-E"))
--------------------------------------------------------

sets the mh profile file to $HOME/.mh_profile

--------------------------------------------------------
    (let ((profile "~/.mh_profile"))
      (if (not (file-readable-p profile))
          (error "Run install-mh before running MH-E")))
--------------------------------------------------------

and totally ignores any value set by $MH.

If $MH profile is set and readable from the first check, mh-utils should set profile to $MH, and only  set profile to $HOME/.mh_profile if $MH is not set.

Thank you in advance for correcting this error.
