There is two kinds of data in an nnml or nnmh group or an MH folder.

(1) The messages themselves.
(2) Other data.

(1) is the same in all three formats.  (2) is different.  In fact, for
an MH folder, (2) is empty, i.e. there is no other data.  Therefore,
you can use MH tools to read any one of these three formats but you
can't use them to write all of them.
