[mew-int 00929] Relation between mew.el and .emacs

[Charles Muller]

I am almost as new to Mew as I am to Emacs (having only started with Emacs about a week earlier) so this is probably a basic Emacs question:

>From what I can tell from the manual and what I read on the list, people seem to be keeping their Mew customizations in a "mew.el (or .mew)" file that resides in the user path (perhaps something like /home/chuck/lisp/mew.el [?] ). 

Up to now, I have been adding all of my tweaks to my .emacs file, but if it is better to add them to a separate mew.el file, I would like to start doing that. Is that the right thing to do?

If this is correct, then I would imagine that I will need to add a path statement to my .emacs file to point out the location of the customized "mew.el" file. If this is also correct, can show me how this statement should be formed?

I am sorry for these basic questions, but I can't seem to find this kind of explanation in the manual.
