Not off hand. It looks like $MHTMPDIR was introduced between MH 6.8.5 and the entry of nmh into CVS. MH 6.8.5 hard-coded the use of /tmp/. The thread beginning at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2014-01/msg00043.html has the most recent discussion. But the introduction of ~/mail (`mhpath +`, actually) was before that. Personally, I set $TMP. David _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
