Re: [Nmh-workers] Request Deprecation of mts.conf's mmdelim1 and mmdelim2.

2017-05-21 11:10:29
mts.conf(5) says these may be altered from their default.

   mmdelim1: \001\001\001\001\n
      The beginning-of-message delimiter for mail drops.

   mmdelim2: \001\001\001\001\n
      The end-of-message delimiter for mail drops.

This doesn't seem useful, if it ever was.  If someone has an oddly
formatted bunch of emails in a file then they can csplit(1) or similar
before feeding the results to nmh.

May it be removed from git now, or must it wait until 1.7 is released?

I say get rid of it now; that's support for MMDF, right?  Maybe there
are people out there still using MMDF, but I doubt they are still using
nmh.
