I definitely remember that (and that's on mhonarc.org), but I don't
recall Richard ever marking something as 1.0. He had a lot of 0.10, 0.20,
0.25, etc etc releases.
well, it seems someone marked something as 1.0, because i just found
this, which implies i was able to download it:

hello richard --
i have a question, prompted by having just picked up 1.0.
i seem to recall finding a bug in mh some time ago, that we may
have corresponded about. (i can't find the mail, so it may have been
via comp.mail.mh.) anyway, it had to do with doing an "inc" when
the destination folder's filesystem is full, on linux. as i recall,
inc wasn't checking for errors properly during its fwrite/fclose
sequence, and behavior that worked on many systems failed on linux,
which (i think) didn't report errors on fclose() that had been previously
reported on fwrite() (or perhaps, looking at inc.c, which had been
reported on fseek()).
anyway, i think i may have noticed at the time that the mh-6.8.3 bug was
still present in nmh. i believe you said you knew about it, and
had a fix planned.
I've been planning on doing an overhaul of the code in `inc', but
haven't found the time. Maybe in the next month.
