As of 8.0, you need to customize the variable mh-mhl-format-file:

  mh-mhl-format-file: Use Default mhl Format (Printing Only)

  Specifies the format file to pass to the "mhl" program.

  Normally MH-E takes care of displaying messages itself (rather than
  calling an MH program to do the work). If you'd rather have "mhl"
  display the message (within MH-E), change this option from its default
  value of "Use Default mhl Format (Printing Only)".

  You can set this option to "Use Default mhl Format" to get the same
  output as you would get if you ran "mhl" from the shell.

  If you have a format file that you want MH-E to use, you can set this
  option to "Specify an mhl Format File" and enter the name of your
  format file. Your format file should specify a non-zero value for
  "overflowoffset" to allow MH-E to parse the header. Note that
  "mhl" is always used for printing and forwarding; in this case, the
  value of this option is consulted if you have specified a format
  file.
