As a side note ... Norm, when I try to reply to your message, I get
the following warning from repl:
repl: bad addresses:

This happens because you have multiple cc: headers ... and according
to the relevant RFCs, that isn't actually permitted (RFC 5322 says
you can only have one). Obviously you can have multiple addresses
in one cc: header, and yours is the only case where I've personally
seen email with multiple cc: headers. I'm not sure if we should
deal with this better or not ... it might require some work.
But when I installed vanilla nmh 1.4, lo and behold the problem
disappeared, only to rear its old ugly head when I changed
/usr/local/nmh/etc/mts.conf.
So ... it sounds like nmh can't do what you want (whether or not
it should be able to do that is a different question; I'll let
others tackle that).
nmh only has the ability to send email to one location, and that setting
is global for all recipients.
Is there any way I could change it for a single message, short of modifying
mts.conf -- maybe some kind of entry in .mh_profile or something? Note that
messages for which I will want to this will have exactly one addressee, norm.
So you the choice of submitting to your local SMTP server (which handles local
email okay, but since you don't have a reverse DNS entry it gets rejected by
spam filters), or to your ISP's SMTP servers which doesn't do what you want in
terms of local email.
I think to make it do exactly what you want you'll have to modify your
sendmail/postfix/whatever-mta configuration to deliver "local" email locally
and then punt all other email to your ISPs SMTP server. That, however, is
beyond the scope of nmh :-)
Or ... could you just use Fcc:? I mean, if you want a local copy with a Date:
header and all, that would do it.
But send will not send an Email having no addressees, even if it has an Fcc: .
