We do include the packaging tools with nmh, so if you want to build your
own RPM for nmh 1.5 it should be relatively straightforward.  Or you
can always compile it yourself and install it wherever you want.

Well, it gets installed in ${prefix}/share/doc/nmh/NEWS, which people
don't normally look at, I agree.  I only mention it because it's got all
of the details you need about replyfilter and other changes for 1.5.

Yeah, I used to do that too, but I finally got annoyed enough with that
solution to fix it in nmh.  Also, replyfilter does more than just handle
quoted-printable; it can decode base64, can handler multipart/alternative,
can convert text/html to plain text, etc etc.  It's not perfect, but it's
a lot better than the old way.

Like every other Linux distribution the release naming is completely
incomprehensible to me, so I can't say when that will happen (1.5
appears to be in some version of Ubuntu).
