strong +1. we should not provide workaround code for non-posix systems. just disable the features that depend on missing posix features. this means our worst case is: desupport a non-posix platform (for examples see vax/vms, microsoft windows, or apparently now, openbsd.) noncompatibility is not nmh's problem. -- "But I'm not done complaining." --Dagon, 2012 _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
