So to troubleshoot, one should compare the output of that command on both hosts (or on one host before/after you get the undesired behavior). -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

Leonardo pointed you to the right location, but one additional note: I've seen this when I've had two versions of nmh (one old, one new) writing to the context (the one old clears out the Version string). --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

This can be disabled by adding a `Welcome: disable' entry in the nmh profile. (But, unfortunately no idea why that happens every time... Maybe some program/script removes the `Version:' line in the context every login?) -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
[nmh-workers] persistent nmh welcome
Hi folks The following persists in presenting itself with each new login the first time I run an nmh command, e.g. 'scan' is the one that generated what's below. One symptomatic machine runs Fedora 26, and the other symptomatic machine runs Fedora 27. I'm guessing that there's a file that gets written or touched that stops this from happening on subsequent nmh commands. Further, that file might be prevented somehow from being written, or it might be getting erased somehow. Any ideas where to look? Thanks all...
