--mandir=DIR (DEFAULT is ${prefix}/man)
nmh's man pages are installed here.
+--enable-masquerade[='draft_from[ mmailid[ username_extension]]']
+ If this option is not specified, the mts.conf file will contain the line
+ "masquerade: " (with no value), which may be manually edited later. You
+ may find it convenient to specify a value at configure-time, however, so
+ that each time nmh is reinstalled, the right value will be there.
+
+ Any subset of "draft_from mmailid username_extension" may be given. As a
+ shortcut, simply doing `configure --enable-masquerade' will enable all 3.
+
+ See the mh-tailor(5) man page for full documentation of "masquerade:".
+
+--enable-nmh-debug
+ Enable debugging support.
+
+--enable-nmh-mhe (DEFAULT)
+ Add support for the Emacs front-end `mhe'.
+
+--enable-nmh-pop
+ Enable client-side support for pop.
+
+--with-editor=EDITOR (DEFAULT is vi)
+ specify the full path of the default editor to use. If this
+ option is not given, then the configuration process will search
+ for the `vi' command and use it as the default. If you wish to
+ specify an interface which is compatible with MH, then use the
+ nmh command `prompter'. If you specify `prompter', then you don't
+ need to give the full pathname.
+
+--with-hesiod=PREFIX
+ Specify the location of Hesiod.
+
+--with-krb4=PREFIX
+ Specify the location of Kerberos V4 for KPOP support. You will also need
+ to specify the option `--enable-nmh-pop'. After running configure, you
+ will need to change the POPSERVICE #define in config.h if you want to use
+ KPOP exclusively (rather than being able to switch between KPOP and normal
+ POP3). See the comments inside config.h for details.
+
--with-mts=MTS (DEFAULT is smtp)

+ Specify the mail transport system you want to use. The two
acceptable options are "smtp" (which is the default), and

If you wish to use a transport agent other than sendmail, you will
need to use a `sendmail wrapper'.
