Yes, this  does look closer, however,  I had to comment  out my showproc
(which was currently set to mhshow).

I did some more experimentation  and discovered that show already prints
the header (without  using MessageName) for a  multi message invocation,
e.g. show 1 2  3 will print the message number  before each message, but
does not print the header for a single message invocation.

Also, if I include MessageName in my  mhl.format, I get 2 headers when I
use a multi message show, even with -noheader:

>>> ML/nongnu/nmh-workers:1


(Message ML/nongnu/nmh-workers:1)
<headers>...

But with MessageName and -noheader, at  least I get the header only once
when showing a single message.

$ grep show /home/amb/.mh_profile
show: -noheader

Thanks for remembering this option.

Someone  else  asked if  anyone  would  notice  a difference  if  mhshow
replaced  show...  well,  at  least  in this  regard,  it  certainly  is
different. I bet  the time that my multi message  headers disappeared is
the time that I (for whatever reason) added mhshow as the showproc.
