I don't agree with cumbersome, since it's 3 mouse clicks away from
M-x customize-group [RET] mh-e [RET]

but the customize interfaces adds a line to ~/.emacs when you set a
variable, so adding it yourself would work as well:

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(mh-variant "GNU Mailutils 2.1")
 )

Note that it surprinsingly doesn't work for me.  I get the error:
