For a system that doesn't have a binmail -- like windows -- your argument makes perfect sense. But your claim that 'I didn't install binmail' on a system that includes it, doesn't.

And again, an end user configuring their system into a stupid state is not justification for nmh to follow suit.

How about submitting a patch set that makes nmh work reasonably under cygwin. I'm not the only person who would rejoice.
