[Nmh-workers] Getting mhbuild to attach a directory

[norm]

I wonder if somebody could answer two questions for me.

  How can I attach a directory (preferably compressed) and, recursively, its
  contents to a message?

  How could I have answered this question for myself?  Neither "man mhbuild" nor
  'cat /etc/nmh/mhn.defaults' helped.

I am using nmh-1.0.3 or nmh-1.0.4.

Thanks much your help.
