I committed that change on the main trunk.  So, it won't be in 1.3.
It's a simple change, if we want it to be in 1.3.

Do we want it in 1.3?  Let me know and I'll copy the change to the
branch so it gets into RC3.

I don't have any particular strong feelings myself. It looks like
a pretty safe change -- all it does is change the value in the
default mts.conf, right? (I think if you do a 'make install' the
new mts.conf gets used rather than the installed one, but it does
print a message so the sysadmin will know that something has
changed.)

Incidentally, Debian packages of nmh explicitly pass configure
--enable-masquerade='' , so they (and therefore I :-)) will be
unaffected by this.

(Personally I don't reckon nmh's SMTP-talking code is much cop,
and I'd recommend using 'mts:sendmail' and doing any masquerading
in the MTA. That way you only have to configure it once and it
works for any MUA you care to use.)
