Of historical interest:

Whatnow now has features not available to shell users. This represents,

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).

But what if she's not as smart or as knowledgeble as you?
