I remembered reading through bits and pieces of documentation, trying things out, fixing stuff that didn't work. I liked digging in the code and tried to get MH up and running on Mac OS, learning quite a bit of the MH internals in the process. It didn't matter to me that there was no clean manual because I wanted to get this cool Perl project up and running...

You need to get files from sourceforge, read part of the install instructions on wikispaces, that then links to a script-generated HTML page on sourceforge and then read to the entire page to end up with an environment that does not explain you how to setup your mh.private.ini.
