Absence of both h and b means feed both headers and body to filter.
Certainly sounds like a plausible action to me.
o Is it possible to suggest w or W flag by looking at the action
line? Right now anything that looks like ">" to put something into
the file triggers suggesting "w" flag.
I have a vague notion that anything with a pipe should basically have
a w flag unless you specifically want to ignore what the program you
call really does (and why would you call it then?)
o If formail -D is used; should it always have W flag?
Probably a good suggestion. You might want to actually see the warning
in the log, so perhaps this should be a configurable option to your
lint.
o Can Lint suggest "i" flag for receipe? Now, if there is no formail
in the action line and "f" is used, then "i" is also
suggested. Is this correct? Like below.

That looks very much incorrect to me. I would probably want to know if
mimencode failed for some obscure reason.

I was going to respond to your previous question, but I was hoping
one of the gurus on the list would beat me to it ... Certainly the W
flag could need some more thought.
