Well, I always considered the current behaviour a bug, but I didn't say anything, because the nmh-way of software development seemed pretty inefficient and I didn't want to look at the code myself either. So, when I found out that nmh was sending illegal mails (the timestamps of my filesystem tell me it was 25. Jun 2008), I just "fixed" this by adding three lines to the components file: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-15" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit (which of course I have to remove if I actually want to attach a file to a mail) I guess, I'm not the only one silently applying some workaround but I also guess that much more people unknowingly send illegal mail. So unless somebody on this mailinglist states that he actually needs the current behaviour, I think it is very safe to assume that no such complaints you are fearing will ever be made. Given the number of mails wasted on this seemingly obvious question now, I really regret not filing a bug report 2.5 years ago. BTW, I also use nmh exclusively for my mail, except for the two times/year when I actually need to send signed/encrypted mails. Personally I think that nmh should rather abort than silently sending illegal mails.
