I didn't find that.  :-)  I was just left a bit unclear on your point
but I think it's that I might understand draft folders, from
mh-draft(5), but not know about this command's -draftfolder, say, and so
it adds another level of indirection to get to the answer.

Given its peers, e.g. whom(1)'s

    Path:                To determine the user's nmh directory
    Draft-Folder:        To specify the default draftfolder
    Aliasfile:           For a default alias file
    postproc:            Program to post the message

it may as well be left alone.  It looks like there could be a general
sweep through them to make them more brief and simply refer to an option
where applicable.  So for those above,

    Path:                The user's nmh directory
    Draft-Folder:        -draftfolder's default
    Aliasfile:           -alias's default
    postproc:            A post(8)-like program which does the work

This would make more sense if the man pages listed options rather than
burying them in prose.
