Hi Ken,
I may have suggested this before, but shipping a folder of test
emails that a user can ‘scan +/usr/share/nmh/...’, etc., as a test
of their configuration, along with pre-formatted ‘golden’ output
would be an easy way for them to check they've updated to the latest
bell and whistle.
That might be useful, although the classic problem of letting people
know that such a thing exists is a always an issue.
There's David's context-version check, the FAQ, and this mailing-list's
page and appended signature.
I've been thinking a bit more about this. A folder of test emails that
can be tested by a installed command available to the user. That can
either use what it thinks is a good modern configuration so the user can
see what's possible in theory, or the user's configuration so they can
test their set up on a variety of emails. The former could be built on
the fly based on what commands are installed, e.g. lynx(1) v. links(1).
