I hear you, and I understand where you're coming from ... I mean, some of these MH configurations have been sitting around for decades, literally. As things have changed (hopefully for the better) it's hard to sometimes know about the new stuff; this is a problem we've been struggling with for a while. But your problem was a bit interesting - at first, it was mail disappearing. Drilling down to the "real" reason was a bit of a stretch. I have thought about writing an nmh-intro(8) man page to lay out the basic configuration steps for a new setup. How to configure your email address, how to send and receive email, those kind of things. >I want to make absolutely sure that I understand you.

Before you send a draft you can see if it worked properly. That way if you ever change your email address, you can change it in just one place. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
