Ken, I apologize for leaving things hanging, and for failing to follow up on the last email or two that you posted with helpful advice about how to get the utter mess I have created for myself properly ironed out at long last. What can I say? Stuff happens, and I got distracted... again. But your last two helpful messages are still in my inbox and it has been my intent to come back to them and do all of the things you suggested... most importantly, perhaps, reading the bloody man page (as I should have done from the outset, of course). To answer your question, no, I have not reinstalled NMH, and I'm not even sure if that would be a Good Idea at this point or not. I need to make clear also that on FreeBSD one has a choice of installing a particular thing as a pre-built binary "package" ro to built it from sources, possibly with customized options. I have so far only done the former and not the latter. If it turns out to be eithre necessary or helpful, I can, and certainly will do the latter. But just now, I still have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep. I will circle back with you on all this as soon as I can. I still do desperately want to get all of the kinks in my personal nmh configuration ironed out. I just can't do that today. I thank you so much for your care and concern.
