The -check and -nocheck switches to various nmh programs + that would control this functionality still exist, but are non-functional + and will be removed in the next release. + +--------- +BUG FIXES +--------- + +- Fixed bcc to work with sendmail/pipe, and better documented that dcc + doesn't work with it [Bug 55700]. +- An -attendee switch has been added to mhical(1), for use when more than one + (or zero) attendees match a user's mailbox. +- Fixed inc(1) and %(me) function escape to not obey Local-Mailbox profile + component.
