Hi Ken,

Well done. That's me switching back to running git now the other guinea
pigs have arrived. :-)
I was looking at git's tags, and how the convention has changed over
time.

Can we add, say, annotated tag `1.4' to the same commit as nmh-1_4, and
likewise for 1.{2,3} releases? It would make it easier to script using
releases, and save having to remember the format when typing. Maybe
there's a git reason not to do this.
The `To' header on the email I received was interesting.
To: nmh-announce: ;, ""@ruis.pair.com, address@hidden
ruis.pair.com is one of the final hops before reaching me, suggesting
they've added the domain.
I looked for a decent online mail archive that gives access to the
"original" and found
https://www.mhonarc.org/archive/cgi-bin/extract-mesg.cgi?a=nmh-workers&m=2017-11&i=20171119004244.DA4E6A19F9%40pb-smtp2.pobox.com
To: nmh-announce: ;@zimbra.mallorn.com, address@hidden
So different, but still weird different. Again, mallorn.com is near the
end of the route. This time, no comma with `""' for the username of a
second address.
What did you write? I'm guessing the perfectly valid `nmh-announce: ;'?
