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).

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).

I chose the "welcome: disable" route.

Thanks!

There should be a `Version:' string in `mhpath +`/`mhparam context`.

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?)
