Subject: | [Nmh-workers] The function, void admonish (char *what, char *fmt, ...) |

It seems to me (it's been decades since I programmed in C) that admonish does very little for programmers, except induce them to issue frustratingly ambiguous (sometimes dangerously ambiguous) error messages; that directly calling advertise would be very little extra trouble and would avoid that inducement. I'm not suggesting a wholesale elimination of all 89 present calls to admonish. I'm merely suggesting that admonish be deprecated via an appropriate comment, in error.c, just above admonish.
