I'm not disagreeing with you ... just pointing out the reality that we
have a lot of awful stuff under the hood of nmh, and what we fix is limited
by the stuff people are willing to work on.

I can't even disagree with that, although the purist in me is put off
by the idea of leaving a hole in the implemenation. But then again, if
you put a newline in your MH folder name I have to wonder what you're
really trying to accomplish.
