Hi Paul, > i just don't know whether MH can attract new users through a rewrite.
That wouldn't be the aim. The aim would be for the existing users to have a code base that allowed more rapid, stable development of new features, deprecating old warts, and improving consistency. For example, whilst I like the Unix idiom of one command to do one thing well, I do find myself doing a series of picks, marks, and scans to whittle down emails whereas having a consistent, planned, notation that can be used wherever a message number can be given would lessen the iterations a lot. `seq=-3' is nice, but I can't do `seq:-3:2', for example. And overall it's warty, so warty no one replied to my http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2017-09/msg00014.html :-) -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy -- Nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
