Sigh.  I won't defend mh-format(5) syntax because it's kinda weird, but
it's actually all in the man page (and I told you the wrong syntax for
decode, because even though I have been inside of that code I always forget
the damn syntax)).  You probably want something closer to:

        %(decode{text})

If you wanted to nest these functions (which you don't in this case) you'd
do something like:

        %(decode(putstr{text}))

But that would probably end up with you printing out the text twice.  You
might actually prefer:

        %(putstr(decode{text}))

But I think that's redundant .... yes, actually, I just checked.  It is.

You might find the tools "ap" and "fmtcomp" helpful (they're both in the
nmh lib directory).
