Re: [nmh-workers] real basic nmh question

Hi Ralph,

Yes, that's what happened until I found nmh doesn't use maildir format.
Originally I was trying to set up getmail and nmh and I already have
mutt running.  So next project is to move any content of those three
subdirectories into ~/Mail and loose those subdirectories and in that
way normalize environment for nmh.  You are correct mhparam path returns
Mail for a path.
