If it's like me with most of the "do this for the new version" advice on here, it's two years' premature as I was on an old release for a lot longer. I suppose the release notes should be re-read as one's software upgrades. http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nmh.git/tree/NEWS > But I would like to humbly suggest a new man page, something like > nmh-advice.

Most of us have so much clutter collected over the years, ~/bin scripts sitting in front of the real nmh commands, .mh_profile stuff that's now the default, or overrides what would be a better default. I was thinking of moving all my stuff aside, or creating a new temporary user account, just to start with a clean slate and find out what needs adding to do things the "new" nmh way. Perhaps nmh(7) is the place to add what initial configuration is advised.
