Success on Mageia Linux 8. Working as promised, using live for email

Sure, that sounds great.

And it would be great to have shorter release cycles for 1.8.1 (and
beyond), but I know that life gets in the way.

Can we tenatively say that it's targeted for 1.8.1?

Works on FreeBSD 13. make check succeeds + random commands
I tried worked fine.

same here. originally i slightly suspected the 'welcome to nmh' stuff,
but that seems well enough guarded against non-interactive use to be
the trigger of xlbiff's autopkgtest gotcha.

(the welcomes certainly never interfere with my use of exmh or mh-e, but
typically surprise me some days later when i happen to run a direct nmh
command for the first time since an upgrade...)

No.  How about we defer to post-1.8?

Finding a Debian system, I think it's more that package xlbiff depends
on nmh.

$ dep=Depends,PreDepends,Suggests,Recommends
$ apt-rdepends -r -f $dep -s $dep nmh
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
nmh
  Reverse Depends: exmh (1:2.9.0-2)
  Reverse Depends: xlbiff (4.5.2-1)
exmh
  Reverse Suggests: nmh (1.7.1-7)
  Reverse Recommends: muttprint (0.73-10)
muttprint
xlbiff
$

Using apt-cache(1) to look forwards, I see:

muttprint
Enhances: mail-reader, news-reader
Recommends: mutt | sylpheed | gnus | xfmail | exmh | mail-reader

xlbiff
Depends: nmh

exmh
Depends: nmh | mh, mime-support

nmh
Conflicts: mh

Recommends: default-mta | mail-transport-agent

It looks like that dependent package is xbiff.  Do you know how that
is identified as a dependecy?  I don't see it as an explicit
dependency in nmh itself.

Thank you, Pascal.

If all goes well, I hope to release 1.8 within a week.
