I'm starting to remember this now ... I had some of the logic in there to handle the username, but I recall that it would have required a lot of surgery to make it work, and I said, "Oh, I'll do it later". Which turned out to be never. >So it's not a trivial thing to fix, and perhaps we could do with >some cleanup of this area.

Should ruserpass() call getusername() to get its default >user name? That seems reasonable to me. And yes, it looks like a general cleanup would be useful. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
