Alright, here are some things I've been thinking about in no particular

i am +1 to your recommendations. i have some comments on alternatives.
- I discovered that with making REALLYDUMB the default, I've run into
a number of cases where my draft doesn't have a From: header (this
happens when using dist or forw), and the constructed one is wrong
(either it's "kenh" which our SMTP server now rejects, or at home
it's "kenh@pendragon.internal", which is also rejected. I've
realized that we should deal better with this. I propose we have
a new .mh_profile entry that is used as the default From: when one
isn't supplied in a draft. Objections?
i think that we should not emit a From: without an @FQDN, or fail to
emit a From:. if the components file did not give us a From: then we
should autogenerate From: `whoami`@`hostname` and let the gods sort it out.
- Jerry Peek, this is for you, assuming you're still around. The MH/nmh
book is a great resource, but it hasn't been updated in a while. Would
you be interested in updating some stuff for some of the newer nmh
features? I'm thinking specifically of the new format/mhl filter,
SMTP server/port selection, authentication with Cyrus-SASL, those
sorts of things. I could help you with that, it's just that I'm not
really a writer.
this likely depends on ORA thinking that a new edition might sell,
perhaps electronic-only.
