Just to close out this thread, I have committed a getpass() which Glenn
Burkhardt and I have been working on. It solves the problem of other
programs interfacing with nmh, such as exmh, as well as guaranteeing the
implementation of that function.

in the next fe

I had the same problems, and fixed them after 1.0.4 came out. I did not

Last November, I submitted a bug report with patches for nmh - it didn't work
as a POP client properly on Linux systems. But unfortunately, the patches
didn't get into the 1.0.4 release, so here goes again:
