i think merging mhshow and show would be a worthy 1.7 goal (if it's not
already on the list). for myself, i never use anything but mhshow, via
a wrapper that turns 'show', 'n', 'p', and a few others shortcuts into
their "mhshow" equivalents (e.g., "mhshow next"). but i assume there's
stuff done by mh's show that i've forgotten about, since i never use it.

I think that this is pretty broken from a user perspective. Not the current
change, but having both show and mhshow. I would just use mhshow for
everything
except that it doesn't do next and prev. And I can't use show for everything
because it doesn't understand -part. Well, it sort of since "show -part 1"
makes message number 1 the current message but that's not the result that I
expected either. And "show -part 2" gives and error message and sets cur to
2.
Seems like a bug.
So while I have no time to pay attention to this or do any work at the
moment,
it seems like this is a step along the path to what I suggested years ago. I
would be happier if mhshow got consumed by show. And happier still if the
resultant program could have next and prev arguments to -part so that I could
have aliases like nextp which would be "show -part next". Would eliminate
the
pain of having to read and type in part numbers.
