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 interface between mh and the user is the shell.

It's  surprising that it took thirty five years.

:-)

If a user doesn't want to use whatnow but wants to use
the attach feature, they could manage the magic headers
manually or via simple scripts (or now, mhmail).

I find whatnow esp. helpful when juggling multiple drafts.
That happens a lot in this era of multitasking.
