I know the text/html was a problem. I expect that non-text attachments will be unviewable. But, I could forward to a web email account, if I really needed to see them. I used to invoke mhn via script. I didn't change much of anything in my [n]mh configuration as nmh replaced MH. Back then I'd moved from command line to Xmh, and I eventually moved to exmh. With Xmh I'd written a launcher script to do things like printing or uudecoding, etc. When I moved to exmh I reworked some of that, and rewrote some of it in a Tcl add-on. I do need to completely rototill my nmh configuration to remove everything that seems at all specific to the 1990s. Heck, I probably have some things from the 1980s in there. Anyone use MH-3 besides me? Of course, I'd barely out of my teen years then. ;-) -- Kevin _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
