Make mh-utils.el a pure "utility" package. I'm thinking chunks could go into mh-xface.el and mh-scan.el (taking stuff from mh-e.el too). We would then create files for each of the modes. We now already have mh-search.el, so I'd propose mh-show.el and mh-folder.el, maybe renaming mh-comp.el to mh-letter.el for consistency. Move mh-modify to mh-funcs.el where it belongs. 6. Limit scope of variables to just the file in which it is defined. If necessary, provide access to variables via functions that are found in mh-loaddefs.el. I think these two are be necessary to solve the present problem, and could substantially increase the amount of change. It might be better not to do these changes now.
