Ken asked:
Is your password in a .netrc  file? Something different? Do you have a
"credentials" entry in your .mh_profile?
I don't have a .netrc file at all:
$ ls -ld ~/.netrc
ls: /home/amb/.netrc: No such file or directory
Neither is there "credentials" in .mh_profile:
$ grep -i credentials ~/.mh_profile; echo $?
1
inc prompts for  the password (as can  be seen in the inc  output in the
original email).
I've started  looking at  the nmh  sources to  see if  I can  figure out
what's going on. If someone spots it sooner than I, please send response
to the mailing list.
