i use it in scripts, but not interactively. i might, if it shared .mh_aliases.
=> => More imporant (for me) is the possibility to send only file(s) as => attachements. Certainly possible with nmh, but not the easiest thing when interactively composing a message.
i use the attached script, called "forward", to bridge the interactive
use gap. it looks at your request, and its content, and generates
appropriate mhbuild syntax.
from within vi, i might use:
!!forward foo.jpg (or ":r !forward foo.jpg")
which would result in the draft in my edit buffer containing:
#image/jpeg; name="foo.jpg" [ - ] foo.jpg
likewise,
!!forward last:3
results in:
#forw [ - ] +mh 177 178 179
(the foldername and message numbers are expanded to "absolute"
values so that if i run more mh commands before sending this draft,
the attachments are still what i first expected them to be.)
i can guarantee there are corner cases my script doesn't handle, and
obvious optimizations to be made. my mh wrappers and add-ons have all
grown organically over time -- none were the result of a "design", and
most deserve a rewrite.
