03.06 Can I get show not to run "less" so much on MIME messages?

  On nmh, you can do this just by "show -nocheckmime". This will
  disable the detection of MIME messages.

  If you say, "show all," and one of the messages was a MIME message,
  your pager will be run several times on each message, rather than
  once on all the messages as a whole. If you find this annoying, set
  the environment variable NOMHNPROC:

    % setenv NOMHNPROC ""			# csh
    $ NOMHNPROC=				# sh and bash
    $ export NOMHNPROC
