Works OK:

    ~ $ type -a mark
    mark is /usr/local/nmh/bin/mark
    ~ $ head -3 /tmp/try ; # So only chg to your script made was in PATH
    #! /bin/bash

    PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/nmh/bin
    ~ $ cd $(mktemp -d /tmp/foo.XXX)
    /tmp/foo.jvR $ /tmp/try
    + scan -version
    scan -- nmh-1.6 [compiled on psi at Sun Aug 24 13:28:18 CDT 2014]
    + scan
       1  02/05*                   1
       2  02/05*                   2
    + show 1
    (Message inbox:1)
    subject:  1
    messagename: (Message inbox:1)
    + show 1 2
    >>> inbox:1

    subject:  1
    messagename: (Message inbox:1)



    >>> inbox:2

    subject:  2
    messagename: (Message inbox:2)
    /tmp/foo.jvR $
