I think you all are missing the forest for the trees here. The only reason send(1) is passing down the bearer token on a command line argument is because post(8) doesn't read the profile. Yes, we could improve the inter-process communication, but it would be simpler and more flexible to pass down the needed profile entries via command line switches (send already does this for at least one thing). --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
