Similarly, I would argue that support for the various versions of POP should be removed from nmh and that the mailer should just call and external program such as fetchmail which has been specifically tweaked for such a purpose. Why keep adding features that have already been implemented in other applications when they can simply be interfaced into MH? The ability to mix and match is one of mh/nmh's strongest features. Ben
I've written a general purpose MIME editor, which I use instead of mhn/mhbuild. It has a crude command loop syntax, but will also accept command-line arguments, and includes the ability to attach files, sign messages, compute content-md5 (I'm choosing the right moment to tell Sun that dtmail's Content-MD5 headers are actually broken!) and so on. I'd be reluctant to suggest it for general use --- I work in an environment where almost everyone uses Netscape, so I needed to be able to handle MIME, and it's written with my own needs very much in mind --- but I'd be happy to give anyone who wants it a copy. ian
