I just noticed that if I pass mark a very long list of messages (say a
few hundred) it appears to silently die.
Looking at the code, the number of command line arguments to mark
(and most other nmh commands) is limited to 1000. Fixing this will
be messy. But I'll think about this some more.
At the very least, maybe it could error out intelligently rather than
bombing in an undefined and ugly manner?
(Though, really, its easy enough to just malloc an array to process
arguments based on argc rather than statically allocating, isn't it?
Sorry that I haven't glanced at the code before this off the cuff --
I'll have a look myself later.)
