Perhaps this will end up being my one and only contribution to the project.

Having one huge file that contained the setting for every tool I could see being rather unwieldly. Also, the idea is that you could have different options for different behavior and you'd just select between them via command-line options. Putting all of that functionality into one super-file ... well, I suppose it's possible, but I can't see it being a win. I'm not opposed to hearing about how we could do configuration better, and I'll be the first one to admit it's not DOCUMENTED well, but I actually thought the functionality was one of our better points. >Also, as I said earlier, I have some specialized needs/tastes, >in particular with regards to the display of header lines. >However I have since realized that I actually misspoke...

Re: [nmh-workers] Formatting HTML to Text: netrik.
Thanks again Ken. I'm sure that building the port will crate a situation in which thinks -could- all work well. But I still have all of these mucked-up personal configuration files, both ~/.mh_profile and also several sub-configuration files underneath my Mail/ directory. (I wish that all this stuff could be put in one file. Maybe in future NMH might support an XMLish single configuration file option.) Also, as I said earlier, I have some specialized needs/tastes, in particular with regards to the display of header lines. However I have since realized that I actually misspoke... I *do not* want to see 100% of all headers. In fact that is counterproductive. I just need to be able to see the usual ones (From: To: Subject: Date: Message-ID:) and also the following ONLY: Return-Path: X-Original-To: Received: --- NOTE! Only the topmost one need be shown! This is just stuff that I need in order to do local spam filtering according to my own personal tastes. Regards, rfg -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

Cy Schubert said he would commit some changes to the nmh package so it had some more options that would give you a better experience, like installing and configuring w3m for you and all of the magic to make replyfilter work. So I think if you go to the nmh ports directory and do "make config" then you should get a dialog that would provide a much better user experience. And if you update your ports directory in a few days using svnup, you should find a few changes that might help you out (but don't let that stop you, you'd probably be in a lot better shape if you built it from source and choose the appropriate options). --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

Ken, I apologize for leaving things hanging, and for failing to follow up on the last email or two that you posted with helpful advice about how to get the utter mess I have created for myself properly ironed out at long last. What can I say? Stuff happens, and I got distracted... again. But your last two helpful messages are still in my inbox and it has been my intent to come back to them and do all of the things you suggested... most importantly, perhaps, reading the bloody man page (as I should have done from the outset, of course). To answer your question, no, I have not reinstalled NMH, and I'm not even sure if that would be a Good Idea at this point or not. I need to make clear also that on FreeBSD one has a choice of installing a particular thing as a pre-built binary "package" ro to built it from sources, possibly with customized options. I have so far only done the former and not the latter. If it turns out to be eithre necessary or helpful, I can, and certainly will do the latter. But just now, I still have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep. I will circle back with you on all this as soon as I can. I still do desperately want to get all of the kinks in my personal nmh configuration ironed out. I just can't do that today. I thank you so much for your care and concern.

Re: [nmh-workers] Formatting HTML to Text: netrik.
So, circling back to this ... Ronald, I was communicating with Cy Schubert, the maintainer of the FreeBSD nmh port, and he said to me, "Hey, did you realize that we DO all of the stuff to make replyfilter work if you enable that option?" And when I looked at the port Makefile I realized he was right ... there is an option to install replyfilter and of the dependencies you need. That would also have installed w3m which meant nmh would have been configured to render HTML email out of the box correctly. So, my question to you is ... have you tried reinstalling nmh with the replyfilter option? I believe that "make showconfig" or "make config" for the nmh port should get you going in the right direction. --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
[nmh-workers] Bug #56575 (hard links in refile)
Hey ... To the person who filed bug #56575 ... I don't know who it was, but because it doesn't have a user name tied to the submission, I replied to it but I don't know if you saw the reply. Anyway, I can't reproduce your problem ... I think we should do the right thing, but if you are willing to talk about it here we could run down the exact problem. --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
