I agree.
For years, I have used a separate

I consider non-programmers. If not, nmh will just be a nitch
MUA, and probably over time, die a slow death.
If popularity is the goal, then my answer to this is a resolute NO.
I guess I see a wide range of possibilities between popular and dead.
MH has filled a niche outside the mass market of MUAs since its inception.
What it does, it does well.
What it doesn't, it doesn't well. That's not a bad
History may have been bad. However, it may teach very important
lessons. One should never ignore it, but one should go new ways if
appropriate.
Okay ... so, what, you're just dismissing my point here with some vague
oh, all that stuff people did before, it might be wrong?
And as for it being
There are some organizations where all network traffic
must be encrypted, and if MUAs are to submit to a
central MTA for delivery, nmh would need TLS support
to do this.
Minor correction: nmh can do this already, _if_ the SASL mechanism
supports encryption (we have that requirement, and we use

Fetching mail is also the job of a different tool.
So, just so we're clear ... you want to remove the existing support for
POP in inc as well?
I agree with Ken.
At some point, nmh must be able to read (incorporate) mail to
do its job.

Nmh should work on a mailbox in the local filesystem. Incoming mail

Not sure about this
can someone remind me why this is so? (i.e., the use of -bs mode?)
I am guessing (I do not know for sure) that the original designers didn't
want to have to duplicate code and they figured since the -bs mode would
allow them to reuse the SMTP code, that's what they went with.
