Out of general curiosity, have any of you actually used vmh to
read/send mail?

I was always curious why MH would include a curses client, and every
once in a while the fit takes me to try it.  In 25 years I've never
been able to make it do anything more than complain about my terminal
being too stupid to run on.

Maybe there is someone out there who knows someone who knows someone
who saw it run once ...

It's time, I think, to remove vmh.c.  If someone wants it
they can get it from nmh 1.4 or prior.  These files can
be removed:

  h/vmhsbr.h
  uip/vmh.c
  uip/vmhsbr.c
  uip/vmhtest.c
  man/vmh.man

plus references in these:

  h/Makefile.in
  man/Makefile.in
  uip/Makefile.in
  config.h.in

Also:
  uip/wmh.c
    -Windowing MH for Integrated Solutions
     Graphics Workstations; not standardly installed for now since
     requires special load libraries [and header files]

Also, these files are unused, at least on POSIX platforms:

  sbr/memmove.c
  sbr/snprintf.c
  sbr/strdup.c
  sbr/strerror.c

Any objection to removing all of this?  That snfprintf.c is
Apache licensed so should definitely go.

Lyndon, should I remove on the posix branch also or stay out
of your way?

David
