Ken - stop egging me on :-)

So I think that I respectfully disagree.  My notion of show is just an
improved UI for mhshow so that show 1.2 shows message 1 part 2.  And
now you've done it - my notion of scan is just a mashup of scan and
mhlist.  So maybe not so difficult after all.

That doesn't mean I'm signing up - super over-committed at the moment.
