I've thought about the nmh target audience ... I guess my thinking is the
ideal nmh user be programmers who want a flexible MUA that can make use of
many of the features of the Unix command line.
Way back when I was working at SRI in the 80's, our entire group,
programmers, scientists, and support staff alike, used MH. Thus
non-programmers could use MH, and that hasn't changed.
But I bet that, like RAND, almost all, if all of your new users were within a
few feet of more experienced users, probably running terminals into a time
shared system -- no new users running a PC in Wichita.
AND, there was no MIME.
So you had it a lot easier than contemporary developers.
