Re: [Nmh-workers] The attach feature

Hi Norm,

Of historical interest:

Whatnow now has features not available to shell users. This
represents, the perhaps inevitable, denouement of an argument I lost
decades ago. I believed then, and believe now, that the whatnow
feature was a mistake; that the correct in terface between mh and the
user is the shell.

Some years ago, back when source was hard to come by, when trying to
script `help desk' manual actions I found replicating what whatnow(1)
was doing a pain and wished it was more dumb, or even non-existent,
having users roll their own.

Cheers, Ralph.
