Re: [Nmh-workers] hooks interface issues

1.  I had thought that I had added the hook stuff to the documentation for
   mh_profile but I don't see it there.  I'd be happy to add it.  I have

mh_profile seems like a good place for this. There coudl also potentially
be a cookbook somewhere on extending nmh, with references to this, Jerry's
book, contribs, GUIs, etc.

2.  As far as I know, this code works properly.  I use it dozens of times
   per day, and have been doing so for more than a decade.  That doesn't

I figured as much, and yet, kablooey.

With Ken's new diagnostics:

  refile: Unable to execute /usr/local/bin/hook-add: No such file or directory
  external hook "/usr/local/bin/hook-add": exit 255

There's a non-printable character before the second colon. The file was not
new-line terminated, and so the code was trying to invoke a bogus command >-/
After adding a new line, all hooks are firing. Ought one not be permissive
of input though?

3.  I might have missed slocal, probably because I don't use it and I'm
   guessing that it doesn't use the common sbr code that everything else

It would be worth adding, Perhaps also the environment variables?

MHCMD
MHSRCFOL, MHSRCDIR, MHSRCMSG
MHDSTFOL, MHDSTDIR, MHDSTMSG

4.  I'm not sure why whatnow/send/post should be in the list of affected
   commands.  Those don't invoke the hooks.

One of these seems the best match for documenting that add-hook is tripped
for Fcc: in drafts under "These changes affect the following commands:"
