<h2><a name="description">Description</a></h2>
<p>MHPATTERN defines the Perl regular expression to use for
matching message files in an MH mail folder. In general,
MHPATTERN allows you to tell MHonArc which message files
to read when a specified mail folder is a directory.
</p>

<h2><a name="examples">Examples</a></h2>
<p>The following example shows how you can tell MHonArc to
process every non-dotfile in a directory:
</p>
<pre>
% <b>mhonarc -add -mhpattern '^[^\.]' msgdir</b>
</pre>
<p>Remember, each file in <code>msgdir</code> must be a single
mail message.
</p>
<p>Be careful in that the regexp you define does
not match "<code>.</code>" and "<code>..</code>".
