It's a simple namespace issue. These headers escape the nmh environment. Being generic, other software might attribute other meanings to them, and do unexpected things. Putting everything behind "nmh-", and advertising we do so, mostly eliminates the risk. This means, moving forward, we only generate nmh-* headers, while continuing to accept the old ones. This is particularly important now that "forw -mime" is becoming the default; these headers *will* escape now. --lyndon _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
