+minc uses this file for context (i.e. current folder) instead of
+`mhpath +`/context.  This allows you some amount of freedom to use mh
+while minc is running.  For example, you can changed folders without
+causing a message to be stored in the wrong folder.  Care must still
+be taken, however, about the unseen sequence; if you change it
+(whether via show, or mark, or anything else) while in the same folder
+as minc, it is likely the new message minc stores will not end up
+marked unseen.
