I have just updated the nmh pkgsrc package (mail/nmh) in pkgsrc-wip
to 1.7-RC1 - available as wip/nmh - to ease testing and then update
mail/nmh when it will be released.

For the moment I haven't find any problems/issues with 1.7-RC1 but
I'll surely report them (the only "issue" that maybe will bite
other nmh package maintainers was the configure's --sysconfdir (if
for previous release they already passed a nmh/ subdirectory, like
we did for pkgsrc) argument semantic change, but luckily it was
very easy to debug and documented in NEWS! :))


Thank you very much again!
