Sure, but reading this list for several years I have the impression, that more effort goes into finding consensus than on writing code. Don't get me wrong: So far I wrote one patch for nmh which eventually got accepted (some much edited version anyway). I learned a lot from this about programming in C and I really appreciate all the constructive feedback. All I wanted to say is: This situation encourages people to think of work arounds instead of reporting bugs. So the fact that no bugs were reported is very weak evidence that everybody agrees on the current behaviour.
