Hi Valdis,
Here are man pages sourced by other "one line" man pages.
...
man5/mh-profile.5 ← man/mh_profile.man
man5/mh-tailor.5 ← man/mts.conf.man
The files they document are $HOME/.mh_profile and /etc/nmh/mts.conf.
I don't think mh-profile(5) and mh-tailor(5) should exist or be
referred to; it's just confusion and clutter.
Keep mh-profile. It's useful to have all (or almost so) things
possible in a config file documented in one place. Also, where exactly
are you planning to exile all the "standard profile entries" to?
I was suggesting ditching mh-profile(5) because the identical content is
in mh_profile(5) and the latter better matches the name of the
configuration file. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
I guess going forward a non-m_getfld(), non-RFC-822-header, ~/.nmh* with
a more sane syntax might appear, taking priority over the old-school
configuration, so that would be another opportunity to rationalise the
overlap.
(Though this *still* leaves the question of whether the Signature:
block needs proper quoting if it contains non-ascii or rfc-problematic
punctuation....
A brief experiment suggests it's used unaltered in %(myname) and
(localmbox), following mh-format(5). How it's then handled depending
where they're used...
