`git grep noprint' suggests 6.8 removed it from the documentation
because it didn't work.

There's various other mentions of it in that output, including
documenting what it was intended to do.
A few nmh commands are too chatty IMO for Unix so one ends up scripting

That quickly bores. -noprint doesn't seem a good fit for a general
`please be quiet'. If folder's regaining that functionality then
perhaps it's the opportunity to use a more general, positive rather than
negative, option? Especially if it has an often unambiguous
abbreviation.
