Re: [Nmh-workers] Proposed solution to Debian Bug#143485

      execlp (mhlproc, mhl, "-form", filter, "-noclear", NULL);
-     fprintf (stderr, "unable to exec ");
-     perror (mhlproc);
+     write(2, "unable to exec ", 15);

Reminds me of Hollerith constants, i.e. having to manually count the
length of a string literal.  Can't we just stick with the fprintf(),
perror(), etc., and add judicious use of fflush()?

It's a bit cumbersome, but I prefer this approach:

    write(2, "unable to exec ", sizeof ("unable to exec ") - 1);
