Let me try to summarize here because there seems to be lots of energy here

o Many people still exclusively use nmh, some have drifted away. 'Nuf said
on this topic.
o There is a general concensus that backward compatibility is important and
that changes shouldn't break things unless there is a compelling reason.
o The particular thing that markus and Ralph want to address is how illegal
body content is handled. Fixing this would be convenient.
Yes, I want this fixed too, and I have an opinion on how it should be fixed.
o markus is willing to write code. Cool!
o Nobody objects to markus addressing this issue. The objections are that
his implementation breaks things, and handling illegal body content is
not a compelling enough reason for breaking things.
o At least one suggestion (mine) has been floated on a way to implement this
in a way that does not break things.
Two suggestions -- mine as well. I think it's mostly complementary to
yours rather than at cross purposes, some of the aspects it's fixing
are different.
