Details:

It would be quite nice indeed if we were able to activate the sharing of the
current input line between buffers.

If this comes at the cost of losing local history, so be it, but it would be
awesome if both were possible.

Thanks for considering it.

I've committed a patch to the manpage to say that lower case envariables
aren't supposed to be set by the user, so this bug is fixed. (Change should
make it into 1.2.)

Actually, it doesn't (if you interpret it right). I think the idea is that
environment variables in uppercase are user-settable, and lowercase ones are
set only to communicate information from one part of nmh to another. The
explanatory text generally says 'this is set' rather than 'you can specify'.

It's clear from the code that whatnow does check the envariable; I assume the
original reporter found setting it had no effect because it was overridden by
whatever other bit of nmh was invoking whatnow.

My suggestion is that we should add something to the mh-profile manpage,
explaining this convention and that lowercase envariables aren't
user-settable. We could probably also put something more of a separator
between them and the user-settable envariables.
