apropos nmh, for me, lists 20 pages:
fmtdump(8) - decode nmh format files
install-mh(1) - initialize the nmh environment
mh-alias(5) - format of nmh alias files
mh-chart(7) - Chart of nmh Commands
mh-draft(5) - draft folder facility for nmh message system
mh-folders(5) - specification of storage format used by nmh message
system
mh-format(5) - format file for nmh message system
mh-mail(5) - message format for nmh message system
mh-mime(7) - Overview of nmh (7) MIME message composition and
display
mh-profile(5) - user profile customization for nmh message handler
mh-sequence(5) - sequence specification for nmh message system
mh-tailor(5), mts.conf(5) - mail transport configuration for nmh message handler
mhl(1) - produce formatted listings of nmh messages
mhparam(1) - print nmh profile and context components
mhpath(1) - print full pathnames of nmh messages and folders
msh(1) - nmh shell (and BBoard reader)
nmh(7) - new MH message system
packf(1) - pack messages in nmh folder into a single file
prompter(1) - prompting editor front-end for nmh
rmf(1) - remove an nmh folder
A quick look at the first few man pages suggests that with a minimum
of effort we could improve nmh's apropos relevance, which I think
would be A Good Thing.
For instance:
ali \- list *nmh* mail aliases
anno \- annotate *nmh* messages
comp \- compose an *nmh* message
mark \- manipulate *nmh* message sequences
Is this just silly, or shall I proceed?
