Then my OS (Ubuntu 10.04) will work. B-) I've avoided building

"etc." software like MH and emacs. B-)
I know what you mean. I think in terms of external
dependencies we aren't so bad (although if you want to submit
email to gmail, you'll need cyrus-sasl and openssl, but those
are becoming more and more standard nowadays).
I'd never heard of cyrus-sasl before, but I'd been installing
openssl for awhile (I forget why). Yeah, come to think of it, MH
was never a reason I became tired of maintaining dependencies. B-)
Funny -- I was thinking of downloading the NMH source and hacking
it to stop it doing that, and then I read on some webpage that it
was sendmail that did that. (Bad information!)
Just curious ... where did you read that? AFAIK sendmail won't add a
Sender header, but I could be wrong ... definitely in your case nmh
was doing it, as you've discovered.
I can't find a specific mention anymore. (It's possible that I
actually jumped to that conclusion, based on what I read.)
I wasn't aware I was using spost. (Actually I wasn't aware of
the existence of an NMH package program called "spost" before.)
Well, if you don't have a postproc in your .mh_profile, then I guess
you're using the sendmail MTS. You can look in mts.conf for that.
We've cleaned that up, but that's probably post-1.5 (but it shouldn't
be needed for this problem).
Nope, my .mh_profile is fairly minimal, and definitely doesn't
contain a "postproc" entry. (According to the file's date stamp,
I haven't changed it since 2002. B-)
Again, it looks like 1.5 would be my best friend. B-)
Not having to use sendmail has appeal, although I would still
need it for the incoming email that I fetch from GMail. Though
I suspect that there's a way to do that as well without needing
sendmail. (Ah, never needing sendmail again! B-)
You could probably do that with "inc", the nmh tool designed
for that :-). Might need some finessing with the current
limitations on inc, though. But it should be doable.
Hmm, as in "inc" will do the fetching for me (so that I won't need
to use "fetchmail" anymore)? Oh wow, it does! (It's been a long
time since I read the man page for inc .... B-) What are the
"limitations" that you hinted at?
