(Note: Paul meant "shouldn't be dropped" ...) While I think that's useful, I do wonder how many people use it. Hm, I guess it's really just a re-working of the old plussed_user option, and it used to check the USERPLUS variable. Looks like Dan Harkless updated that code ... over a decade ago. Okay, yeah, I guess that's new by nmh standards :-) > > Well, the plan is you would run all drafts through mh-format, and > > you could do that with the existing format language today.

Yeah, there is an amazing amount of functionality in mh-format. I guess it would look something like: From: %<(getenv MHFROM)%|%(localmbox)%> (Or whatever ... I haven't decided what to call the format function that gets the local mailbox yet). >in any case, be sure and keep "cleanup" separate from "new features" >in your own mind, since some of us kibitzing from the sidelines keep >forgetting the distinction. :-) :-/ Sadly, it's all mashed up together :-/ --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
