Well, it should actually be 80 character ... I suspect we get some of this
wrong.  More to fix!

You might want to consider the following line instead (from the default
components file):

%<{from}%|%(void(localmbox))%>%(void(width))%(putaddr From: )

This makes the -from switch work.  There are similar lines to make
the -to and -cc switches work.

I think we did a pretty good job in making sure that nmh creates an
environment and only uses the binaries in the build tree.  But we could
get that wrong, of course.
