It was a bug. The only suggesting that it wasn't a bug is instead saying that it was `illegal' (which it wasn't... it just usually was a bad idea). nmh was used so infrequently in places that aren't 7-bit clean that none of the people who noticed complained; they just binned it with the host of non-i18n'd software and moved on. This is generalizing a bit from a small sample, but I'd be even more astonished than if we found more than a dozen people who use mh exclusively for all their email. ;) *Chad _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
