>Description:

	A recent change the mail/nmh pkg/DESCR file put out of date info
	in for a reference URL.  I've corrected that along with updating
	the "it's in beta" part of the description.

>How-To-Repeat:

	

>Fix:
	
	Apply patch to the port:

diff -ru ../nmh-curr/pkg/DESCR ./pkg/DESCR
--- ../nmh-curr/pkg/DESCR	Wed May 19 02:04:08 1999

-nmh is currently in BETA testing/development.  It seems to be
-generally stable, but things may break from release to release
-as changes are made.
+nmh consists of a collection of fairly simple single-purpose programs
+to send, receive, save, retrieve, and manipulate e-mail messages. Since
+nmh is not a single comprehensive program, you may freely intersperse
+nmh commands with other shells commands, or write custom scripts which
+utilize these commands in flexible ways.
