I don't think you (or anyone else) should feel bad about that. Most of the discussions about nmh changes have two parts: 1) Discussion of the concepts behind an interface change 2) How to implement 1). Most of the longer discussions end up being 2), which can go off into the weeds onto very technical things like how the iconv library works and particular paragraphs of RFCs. When I suggest an interface change, I usually try to generate a summary email that covers the broad concepts to explain my ideas. Here's an example: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2014-03/msg00030.html Most of the later discussion was about nuts and bolts things, like what to do with particular MIME parts, particular flags, etc etc. But if anyone has any questions about anything, you should feel free to ask! I usually have a good idea in my head about how the change impacts users, even if I'm not always so good about explaining it. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
