Rather than guess, we should treat the absence of a From: header in
an outgoing message as a configuration error and abort the send. This
change makes the creation of a components file with a 'From:' header
mandatory; the code that initializes the Mail/ folder should
probably be extended to prompt for a default From address which is
then used to create a minimal components file.

So, what do people think of this idea?  This would be arguably the
most correct solution, but it would be a significant change from
the way nmh has behaved in the past.

i think this is fine. nmh should gradually encourage people to make a
few changes here and there.


If we are going to change the behavior in any significant way then we
should make it a major release (i.e. 2.0).

Thanks
