I think there's a difference between nmh coping with incoming emails thrown at it, which IIRC was the discussion when Eric said that, and nmh spewing "broken" emails because the user has a broken configuration. The user probably wants to be told so he fixes it. If it's his real intention then mhbuild can probably do his warped bidding. I realise this is all old hat now, but as a general principle I think there are two distinct cases; input and output.
