Re: nmh 1.8?

[Kevin Cosgrove]

Is anyone here packaging nmh as part of a .deb file in the process of testing?  I used to routinely do that for .rpm packages, but no longer find myself on a system where that makes sense.
Thanks.

Greetings as we approach the new year.

It's been a long time since nmh 1.7.1 was released, March 2018 to be
specific.  What does everyone think of pushing out a 1.8 soon?  Here
are changes since 1.7.1:

While Ken has a worthy wish list at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2019-05/msg00000.html
and maybe more, I've reached the point where I don't think that we
should hold up a release any longer.

What triggered this?  I finally figured out how to package for Red Hat
EPEL 8 and 9.  I don't think that should be done with 1.7.1.  And, the
current HEAD has been stable for a while.  As always, new features and
improvements can be added as they're ready.

Question: is anyone besides me using the Gmail integration on the
gmailapis branch?  It needs a fix, but if no one else is using it,
that can wait.
