Ppl,

Some time ago I posted on this list my desire for recursive searching
for mh-format files. I finally finished the patch, thanks to lokigames
and a son that needed some extra quality time for the delay.

The patch (or any new versions) can be found at
http://www.neatech.nl/oss/nmh/

The diff is against nmh cvs sources of 17 october 2000 is available.
Documentation can be found in the manpages, especially mh-format.

There is one controversial change in this patch. When comp is started
with only a folder, and not a message like comp +mh/nmh-workers , it
will now reference a component file as its template, and not the
current message from that folder.

This change could cause some users some pain, but I still think it's
better to include it. Without it it is very difficult to have comp
find a per-folder components file reliably. I don't know how many
people would run comp with a +folder argument, and without a msg
argument (this is different from the draftfolder argument!). If the
needs of these users override those of this patch, I'll rework it.

I'd appreciate any comments, or alternatively a checkin by someone.
