That's a horrible phrase, "power user".  What you have to remember about 
MH is that is is highly integrated with the UNIX shell and UNIX file 
system.  So, one interesting mechanism for interaction is to use the scan 
-format to construct shell commands based on the message and its location 
and feed the output of scan to /bin/sh.
