So the order is .mh_profile, $MHSHOW, mhn.defaults.

How about
After .mh_profile,
some programs read an optional profile specified by a
program-specific environment variable,
and then the system-wide profile %etcdir%/mhn.defaults.
These programs are mhbuild, mhshow, mhstore, and mhn.
mhfixmsg is similar, but has no optional profile.
The first occurrence of a component is used,
e.g.\& .mh_profile's trumps $MHSHOW's.
A component with no value still stops further occurrences being used,
but is considered absent.
Cheers, Ralph.
