 nmh 1.3,REV=2010.10.25

The mails delivered after the update do not get lost, they are deliviered

Unfortunately, there is not much I can do about this for the existing package because it removes the config file when it is removed (which occurs separately before the new package is installed). I have just uploaded a package for nmh 1.4. When that package is later upgraded, mts.conf gets backed up and restored.

Note that config files have moved to /etc/opt/csw (a wider OpenCSW change).
