customization

[d.henman <dh...@gm...>]

In the new MH-E, it states that there is a variable "mh-variant", which we can set, but then gives an ominous message, that we can't do so in our .emacs files.  I want to do 
   (setq mh-variant 'mu-mh)

in .emacs file.  One simple line.  No going through customization menus....

I, prefer to use my .emacs files and keep away from "M-x Customization".  Wouldn't MH-E pick up the "mh-variant" setting and set all relavant variables accordingly.  I guess I am asking if it will work ....  In order to get MH-E to pick Gnu Mailutils MH 
packager over nmh when both are present on the system.
