The pithy ruminations from Ralph Corderoy on 
<Re: [Nmh-workers] Nabbing /usr/bin Space.> were:

OK, got it.

Not really, if:
        /usr/bin/nmh mmdfunburst 

really does
        exec(/usr/libexec/nmh/mmdfunburst)

Wasn't your intention to stop polluting /usr/bin with more
executables...otherwise, where would you keep 'mmdfunburst'?

Or were you thinking that /usr/bin/nmh would have functionality that's
not available in any other executable, rather than just being a front-end,
and there wouldn't be a stand-alone program 'mmdfunburst'?

Mark

PS.
        I do like the idea of a command named "*funburst".
