mh_profile seems like a good place for this. There coudl also potentially
be a cookbook somewhere on extending nmh, with references to this, Jerry's

I figured as much, and yet, kablooey.
With Ken's new diagnostics:
refile: Unable to execute /usr/local/bin/hook-add: No such file or directory
external hook "/usr/local/bin/hook-add": exit 255
There's a non-printable character before the second colon. The file was not
new-line terminated, and so the code was trying to invoke a bogus command >-/
After adding a new line, all hooks are firing. Ought one not be permissive
of input though?

MHCMD
MHSRCFOL, MHSRCDIR, MHSRCMSG
MHDSTFOL, MHDSTDIR, MHDSTMSG

for Fcc: in drafts under "These changes affect the following commands:"
