the current debian 'stable' release that dan is using did end up with
nmh version 1.8-RC2, what with the various code freeze periods etc.

with that version the welcome does indeed not go away and and becomes
quite unwelcome...and i didn't catch that before uploading the debian
version (because i'm mostly using exmh in front of nmh).

as to cause, i suspect the version comparison logic has a hiccup
parsing the '-RC2' bit.

See ‘Welcome’ in mh_profile(5) for starters.
Though something must be going wrong for it to be shown more than once.
Others here will help more, but I thought an initial point in the right
direction may help.

the fastest way to disable this forever is to add
Welcome: disable
to your .mh_profile. see man mh_profile.
