nmh 1.8 has not been released yet, but the first release candidate is out. I haven't had time to test it yet, but a user has reported that the mh-version command breaks with it. That is, mh-version is only able to report a few things before erroring out on a nil value where a string was expected. The attached patch fixes the problem and works on older nmh releases as well as 1.8. Is it okay for emacs-29? thanks, mike PS. The repo revision listed below includes the fix. It is based on e8c77d9abda.
