** [bugs:#484] MH-E should not whine if no MH is found when compiling Emacs**

**Status:** unread

If you build Emacs without having any MH variant installed, you get this message
No MH variant found on the system
The message appears multiple times (including once when compiling Gnus); it clutters up the build log for no good reason. MH-E should only warn if someone tries to actually use it and no MH variant can be found at that time.

RMS and Stefan Monnier have both called this out as a bug (see the thread starting at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-04/msg00077.html).

Forgot to mention: I've reproduced this with Emacs 25.1-rc1.

The message comes from the mh-variant-set call in the :set method for mh-variant.
