Many thanks for the new release -- it's great to see such dedication. In my environment, I set $MHCONTEXT dynamically at login, so that I can have different contexts for different sessions (ie., GUI desktop, ssh, tty login) on the same machine, via:
export MHCONTEXT=~/Mail/.mhcontext-`tty|sed -e "s,.dev.,," -e "s,/,.,"` I see that nmh commands are reading the $MHCONTEXT file, parsing the line "Version: nmh-1.7.1" and printing the Welcome message, but not updating the file unless there is a context change: [bergman@rocoto ~]$ [bergman@rocoto ~]$ echo $MHCONTEXT /home/bergman/Mail/.mhcontext-pts.0 [bergman@rocoto ~]$ cat $MHCONTEXT Current-Folder: Work Version: nmh-1.7.1 [bergman@rocoto ~]$ inc ======================================================================== Welcome to nmh version 1.8 See the release notes in /usr/share/doc/nmh/NEWS Send bug reports, questions, suggestions, and patches to nmh-workers@nongnu.org.
