nmh's dependencies include recommended packages of mail-transport-agent and metamail.

However, metamail was deleted in Lucid with reason "(From Debian) RoQA; orphaned, missing upstream, buggy; Debian bug #274451".

nmh's default config (in /etc/nmh/mhn.defaults) still causes it to try to invoke metamail for MIME messages. This obviously fails.

To correct this, either metamail should be reintroduced or the default config file should be changed.
