That's far more operational experience than I've yet had with my patch.

That might be the difference. My patch WILL NOT WORK with
nmh 1.8; it must be applied to git head.

I cloned git at HEAD, applied your patch, applied my patch
1 of 2 from today's email (so, the new test, not my fix), and
"autoreconf -i && ./configure && make check".
The "make check" failed with, in part, this output:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
./test/inc/test-pop: "inc -user testuser -host 127.0.0.1 -port 64884 -width 80"
