I'm forever converted to gnus, but am interested in using the mh
backend to gnus rather than the default nnml.  What would I need
to change in my .emacs to make that work?  Also, how would I
convert my nnml folders over to mh?  I guess I could export them
to a unix mbox and then just incorporate...

In using the mh backend, does gnus actually run the mh commands
to run the folders?  Or does it keep it all in gnus and just the
format of the mail folders is mh?

Anyone with some experience here?
