Hi David, > I'd like to get Ralph's take on what we should do.
Thanks. If my suggestion to Stephen of unsetting HOME works and is acceptable to him then I suggest we don't change nmh for this release. > > A further documentation issue: mh-profile(5) does not specify the > > treatment of a relative Path.

As HOME needn't be set how about mh_profile(5) saying Path: Mail Locates nmh transactions in directory “Mail”. + A relative path starts from the user's home directory. This is the only mandatory profile entry. (profile, no default) I see the ENVIRONMENT section doesn't mention HOME. Perhaps, HOME If set, it is used as the user's home directory. If not set then getpwuid(3)'s pw_dir is used. -- Cheers, Ralph.
