Yes, I meant only environment variables intended for nmh and defined by it to have a path, absolute or relative, to a file, e.g. MHMTSCONF. mh_profile(5) lists many. I don't think any of them are PATH-like; I agree, when searching a PATH-like it's not an error if a directory doesn't exist. I've opened https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?56192 so it doesn't get forgotten. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
