Re: [nmh-workers] bug report -- message does not go away

[Edo (Edoardo Biagioni)]

I told you that the message is gone, but I was wrong.  It is less
frequent than it used to be, but it still shows up occasionally
(this is after deleting "Welcome: disable" from the .mh_profile)

For example, "prev" and "show" don't display the message, but "next"
does.

I hope this helps.

The easiest fix, I expect, would be to add this to your profile
($HOME/.mh_profile):

Welcome: disable

We should try to understand why you keep seeing the welcome message.
Is your context file writable?  The path to the context file can be
shown by "mhparam context".  It is relative to your MH directory, shown
by "mhparam path".  Does it contain a Version component, such as:

    $ cat `mhparam path`/`mhparam context`
    Current-Folder: inbox
    Version: nmh-1.7

Do you have an MHCONTEXT environment variable set?  "mhparam context"
won't reflect it.
