Not sure about this statement, especially "plain-text". MH was written at a time when security considerations were not given much thought. I think TLS support for submitting email to an MTA has become more of an essential function of MUAs (and the common GUI-oriented MUAs do support this). There are some organizations where all network traffic must be encrypted, and if MUAs are to submit to a central MTA for delivery, nmh would need TLS support to do this. I'm not sure it is safe to assume that someone is able to install and run a third-party program on their local system to work as a secure submission proxy for nmh. --ewh _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
