Ken> BEFORE 1.6 it certainly wouldn't do that out of the box.
Er I think the key word there was that it'd bring up "something" in a
pager. Not necessarily something useful, but it was less aggravating
than throwing up a new window for every message part in the 100 emails I
was skimming :-/ I had customised things a bit to work around that.

.. yeah, and I can see that the relevant patch was introduced in this
bugfix: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=646842
Hmm. Let's not get sidetracked into why Debian is doing what it's doing
then; it seems broken, but whatever.
As a cheap alternative to a local build of the whole thing, I pulled
down your git repo and ran mhn.defaults.sh from there, to create a
personal mhn.defaults.
That leaves me in a much improved situation, behaving as advertised;
thanks a lot for the super fast response by the way.
Building on my original question though, is there any kind of wiki or
Nmh-specific FAQ for tips and tricks?
For example,
- I really like MessageName (undocumented?), which you can use to see
message numbers now that mhshow doesn't show 'em by default (thanks
for writing about that elsewhere!);
- I'd be interested to see other people's recipes for rendering
diverse formats as text;
- and I'd also like to see past ideas for rewriting the message part
headers so they stand out a bit more (mhshow.marker seems to only
change the display of unshown parts??)..
.. looks as if the old FAQ hasn't been updated recently enough to cover
some of these.
