Weeeelll ... my reluctance there is I don't want to duplicate Unix functionality without a very good reason. And Unix already umpteen ways to do this; you could wrap all of the nmh commands with aliases or shell wrappers, for one.

We have a very different environment, which is not surprising. For stuff like email, everyone has their own workstation. For higher-power computing, there are a few centralized systems; email works on those systems, but it's generally not used. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
