A few particular corner cases to make sure we handle right:
1) IPv6 is supported, but not enabled on the system (no interfaces, not
even loopback, have an IPv6 addr bound to them). I've gotten bit by this on
Solaris (see

Considering getaddrinfo() is part of POSIX, I'd say make the change. If
someone wants to run nmh on something scary and old, they can run a scary
and old version of nmh.
As long as we're considering things for the chopping block:
- RPOP? (What's RPOP? Near as I can tell, it's using POP from a
I think my preference would be for switching the code to using
getaddrinfo et al, and adding autoconf-shims to implement those
functions in terms of the old APIs if we need to. (Cleaner than
lots of ifdefs.)
My only concern is that I can't easily test the autoconf shims because

I say go for it. If this ends up breaking nmh for someone we can fix it
then. If no-body complains it's less work.
Thanks (谢谢).
