ps: I have absolutely no idea if there will ever be a new nmh release, or
if anyone really still cares (and is able) to make cvs commits, I know I
can't. But you're certainly not the last MH user around!
nmh development has moved to savannah.gnu.org - the new homepage is at
http://www.nongnu.org/nmh/ and is now linked from the old one at mhost.com.
CVS is hosted at gnu.org/nongnu.org, and there has been some work there.
We're aiming for a 1.1 release in the near future, but when exactly that will
be is still up in the air.
In any case, I've archived your patch to consider for inclusion.
