Removing the options entirely doesn't seem like deprecation either. Seems like they should maybe emit warnings for a release, but given the limited usefulness of the feature, I'm not sure why we'd bother. In fact, here we talked about adding warnings, but Ken pointed out that we didn't need to, since you read the mailing list. ;-) https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2018-07/msg00005.html =---------------------- paul fox, p...@foxharp.boston.ma.us (arlington, ma, where it's 21.2 degrees)
