You're more patient than I; I always found it terrible because a new pager was invoked for each MIME part. >As a cheap alternative to a local build of the whole thing, I pulled >down your git repo and ran mhn.defaults.sh from there, to create a >personal mhn.defaults. > >That leaves me in a much improved situation, behaving as advertised; >thanks a lot for the super fast response by the way.

The MH FAQ has seen some love lately, because Bill Wohler asked for some input and I gave him some.

Sigh. The code to do that went into nmh after the 1.6 release cycle started. So, next release. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
