I'm sure that building the port will crate a situation in which
thinks -could- all work well. But I still have all of these
mucked-up personal configuration files, both ~/.mh_profile and
also several sub-configuration files underneath my Mail/ directory.
(I wish that all this stuff could be put in one file. Maybe in
future NMH might support an XMLish single configuration file
option.)
Weeeelll ... I get where you're coming from, but they're all different
tools. That's an advantage, but also a weakness. Having one huge file
that contained the setting for every tool I could see being rather
unwieldly. Also, the idea is that you could have different options for
different behavior and you'd just select between them via command-line
options. Putting all of that functionality into one super-file ...
well, I suppose it's possible, but I can't see it being a win. I'm
not opposed to hearing about how we could do configuration better, and
I'll be the first one to admit it's not DOCUMENTED well, but I actually
thought the functionality was one of our better points.
Also, as I said earlier, I have some specialized needs/tastes,
in particular with regards to the display of header lines.
However I have since realized that I actually misspoke... I
*do not* want to see 100% of all headers. In fact that is
counterproductive. I just need to be able to see the usual
ones (From: To: Subject: Date: Message-ID:) and also the
following ONLY:
Return-Path:
X-Original-To:
Received: --- NOTE! Only the topmost one need be shown!
I think that should be pretty straightforward, with the exception we don't
have any internal tools to show just ONE Received: line.
