Weeeelll ... I get where you're coming from, but they're all different tools. That's an advantage, but also a weakness. Having one huge file that contained the setting for every tool I could see being rather unwieldly. Also, the idea is that you could have different options for different behavior and you'd just select between them via command-line options. Putting all of that functionality into one super-file ... well, I suppose it's possible, but I can't see it being a win. I'm not opposed to hearing about how we could do configuration better, and I'll be the first one to admit it's not DOCUMENTED well, but I actually thought the functionality was one of our better points. >Also, as I said earlier, I have some specialized needs/tastes, >in particular with regards to the display of header lines. >However I have since realized that I actually misspoke...

Only the topmost one need be shown! I think that should be pretty straightforward, with the exception we don't have any internal tools to show just ONE Received: line. --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
