1) You have asked to send someone all of the attachments from a particular
message. That functionality is not native to nmh, but it is possible
to script it.
But what I don't understand is why isn't it? In fact, why isn't that
an option to forw, or even its default?
Well, geez Norm ... you've been around for approximately forever. You
of all people should know the history of (n)mh and MIME support. Back
when forw was written, MIME didn't exist. forw -mime was added somewhere
along the way to allow people to forward a message and maintain the
MIME structure. No one has yet written what you've asked for.
I don't recall when attachments first came into nmh, if I ever knew. But I
don't understand why the feature I talked about was not added to forw at that
time. Maybe it was because, for some reason I don't understand it is
difficult??
