i recently changed one of my mh wrapper scripts to use the "-nopause"
option to "show", and i've been finding some breakage. it seems
that the "-nopause" option gets passed along to worker processes
in cases where it shouldn't. here's one example:
$ show -nopause -noshowproc
cat: invalid option -- o
If anything this is a bug (misfeature?) in -noshowproc, since -nopause
is not an argument that show recognises and so gets passed along to the
showproc (actually the showmimeproc), but if there's no showproc...
and another -- this seems to happen to messages with no MIME-Version
header:
$ show -nopause
mhl: -nopause unknown
mhl, which is the default showproc, can't understand -nopause either,
so if you're using -nopause perhaps you should invoke mhshow directly.
Cheers,
- Joel
