It seems to me it would make the most sense to reuse what code you can from the existing tools to create "mhmime" as a library. Then convert show, mhl* mhmime etc. to be shims that call it, thusly preserving all of the existing user interface of these applications. * This would probably not expose all of he library's functionality, and that's okay. _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
