That was kinda my point. I don't think we should worry about braindead
tmp cleaners.

For a while I ran a site with hundreds of users that all used nmh. I've
since moved on, but still prefer to not waste bandwidth when I don't
have to.
My real point was that it should be configurable, which you've done.
Slightly odd to make it an env variable than an nmh setting in
.mh_profile, but whatever.
