Excellent references. I think I got it now. Have amended my rules
file once more and have uploaded a fresh batch of files to
mentors.debian.net.
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/n/nmzmail/
Just in case the message got lost in this discussion about the rules
file, I'm still hoping that someone would like to sponsor this
package for uploading. It's a wonderful little tool to have with
mutt.
Thanks, Kevin
