I'm not disagreeing with you ... just pointing out the reality that we have a lot of awful stuff under the hood of nmh, and what we fix is limited by the stuff people are willing to work on. >if we want to allow newlines in filenames we'd have to allow -0 (like >xargs does) to change the format. this would be a burden on all rmmpipe >implementations, unwarranted in my view since someone crazy enough to >put a \n in their MHPATH deserves all the pain we can lay in store for them. I can't even disagree with that, although the purist in me is put off by the idea of leaving a hole in the implemenation. But then again, if you put a newline in your MH folder name I have to wonder what you're really trying to accomplish. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
