Thanks, I'll fix this.

And this too :)

Yes, I'll surely do. I'll let you know when I have the fixes available.

By the way, is it possible to add some switch to MH-E that would make
it use GNU long options when interfacing with the Mailutils implementation
of MH? This would be especially useful with the `pick' utility, since
the RAND syntax `pick --some-field-name PATTERN' conflicts with the usual long
option paradigm. Right now I have implemented a workaround that forces
`pick' to recognize only old syntax when its stdin is not connected to a
terminal (as it is when invoked by MH-E).
