I never even knew this was a possibility. I've always put the
filename last. I'm definitely in favor of limiting it this way.
Hopefully nobody has created a script that depends on this level
of flexibility. B-) (It's highly likely that anyone using a
custom postproc wrote it. Is there some way to warn such users
and prevent post(8) from completing, so that they can update
their postproc without losing their draft or the draft being
incorrectly post(8)-ed?)
Considering that it has been that way for several decades, and literally
every caller of post(8) would do that (depending on arguments) up to
a few days ago ... I do not think that would be wise. I think the best
we can do change all of the callers to put the filename last and live with
that.
As for the man page ... sigh. I understand your point, but like I told
Ralph almost every nmh man page is like that, and has been like that
forever.
