Hi Paul,

Yeah, looks like it's always (at least since 1989/06/26) been that

`git grep noprint' suggests 6.8 removed it from the documentation
because it didn't work.
but that still prints the folder name, doesn't it? i think -noprint
might be totally silent. (of course, since it doesn't work, i don't
actually know. :-)
There's various other mentions of it in that output, including
documenting what it was intended to do.
A few nmh commands are too chatty IMO for Unix so one ends up scripting
pick "$@" 2> >(grep -v '^pick: no messages match specification$' >&2)
That quickly bores. -noprint doesn't seem a good fit for a general
`please be quiet'. If folder's regaining that functionality then
perhaps it's the opportunity to use a more general, positive rather than
negative, option? Especially if it has an often unambiguous
abbreviation.
