So far nobody's stepped up to write iconv for OpenBSD, and we can't include GNU iconv by default due to the license. I believe FreeBSD switched to their own implementation a while back; perhaps I should take a look... Personally I think iconv is a perfectly reasonable requirement for a modern mail client, and removing the ability to build nmh without it (especially since it's POSIX-standardized) makes sense for maintenance reasons. -- Anthony J.
