When nmh is installed on a FreeBSD-based system, the show command works as one would expect. You get whatever headers you have selected to see plus the first screen of the message. On two Linux systems, I get the selected headers as shown below:
$show (Message inbox:3156) From: OSUCommunications <[email protected]> Subject: Subject text (END) The only way I can read the rest of the message is to type q and it shows normally. I had originally thought I had accidentally set something wrong in .mh_profile on the Linux systems but the only real difference between a Linux installation and a FreeBSD installation is one must make sure the path names for nmh utilities are correct. When they are not, that is very obvious as one sees errors related to the utilities that are not where they were expected to be. When all the paths are right, it almost works. It actually does work except for the pause and the nead to type q to get the next screen. This is really not a new issue but I thought it was peculiar to one system and then I discovered that it is apparently common to at least Debian Linux systems, one of which is Squeeze and the other is Wheezy. Thanks for any constructive suggestions. On the scale of "doesn't work at all" being 1 and "works perfectly" being 10, this is about 8, not quite right but not totally broken.
