The chances that somebody is *still* relying on using /etc/groups as a mailing list database, *and* likely to upgrade to the next release of nmh, are vanishingly slim. I say heave it over the side and mention it in the Changelog, and move on. I've only been using an MH derivative since 1988, and even back then I would have called using /etc/groups for that a totally bonkers idea, since it's overloading group semantics with possible security implications...
