nmh 1.8 -- repeated Welcome message unless there is a context change |

Many thanks for the new release -- it's great to see such dedication.
In my environment, I set $MHCONTEXT dynamically at login, so that I can
have different contexts for different sessions (ie., GUI desktop, ssh,
tty login) on the same machine, via:
export MHCONTEXT=~/Mail/.mhcontext-`tty|sed -e "s,.dev.,," -e "s,/,.,"`
I see that nmh commands are reading the $MHCONTEXT file, parsing the line
"Version: nmh-1.7.1" and printing the Welcome message, but not updating
the file unless there is a context change:
[bergman@rocoto ~]$
[bergman@rocoto ~]$ echo $MHCONTEXT
/home/bergman/Mail/.mhcontext-pts.0
[bergman@rocoto ~]$ cat $MHCONTEXT
Current-Folder: Work
Version: nmh-1.7.1
[bergman@rocoto ~]$ inc
