The current release (and future ones, apparently!) are not completely compatible with nmh. In particular, the reply all function doesn't work. exmh invokes 'repl' with -cc to -cc cc when reply all is used. The 'replcomps' file in nmh doesn't comprehend the -cc flags, and they get dropped. This patch (per Richard Coleman) fixes exmh to work properly with nmh: *** app-defaults Mon Jul 12 14:25:19 1999 --- /usr/local/lib/exmh-2.0.2/app-defaults Wed Dec 30 11:59:39 1998 *************** *** 373,379 **** *Mops.reply.m.l_reply: Reply to sender <Key-r> *Mops.reply.m.c_reply: Msg_Reply -nocc to -nocc cc *Mops.reply.m.l_replyall: Reply all <Key-R> ! *Mops.reply.m.c_replyall: Msg_Reply -cc to -cc cc *Mops.reply.m.t_sep: separator *Mops.reply.m.l_help: Defining more... --- 373,379 ---- *Mops.reply.m.l_reply: Reply to sender <Key-r> *Mops.reply.m.c_reply: Msg_Reply -nocc to -nocc cc *Mops.reply.m.l_replyall: Reply all <Key-R> ! *Mops.reply.m.c_replyall: Msg_Reply -group -nocc me *Mops.reply.m.t_sep: separator *Mops.reply.m.l_help: Defining more... It's also possible to change nmh to work with nmh by changing the replcomps file. As far as I know, exmh will work properly with a stock mh release.
A fix for this bug has been committed to the CVS sources on 25 Aug 1999, by Anders Hammarquist <iko.se>. I haven't been able to check it out yet to see if it works. Here's a description of the fix: > I have a patch that has been in the Debian exmh package for a while > that does determine it at runtime. (Basically, it checks at startup > whether repl lists -group in the help, and if so, uses it for replies > to all).

Lorax and RawHide have a new version of nmh that I expect fix this. ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/lorax/i386/RedHat/RPMS/nmh-1.0-2.i386.rpm
Please re-open this bug if the update mentioned before does not fix the problem. We've also got a new release of exmh, though I did not apply the patch on the assumption that using the newer nmh was the right way to fix this.
