Well, you could undo the effects:
* if there's no profile file, we're not installed anyway
* if there is, then it will tell us where the Mail
directory is
* so rm -rf Mail (with a big fat warning!)
* and delete the profile file
In fact (modulo the warning and checking we were installed in
the first place!) it's a shell one-liner:
rm -rf "${MH:-~/.mh-profile}" "$(mhpath +)"
I'm not totally sure we want to provide an easy way for
the user to blow away their mail, though :-)
However, if you're going to document in the manpage
how to clean things up you should document the
correct way that doesn't rely on assumptions about
the directory name and so on.
