Summary:                    upgrade process does not honor existing mts.conf
Description: 
/opt/csw/etc/nmh/mts.conf gets overwritten when upgrading to :

 nmh 1.3,REV=2010.10.25

The mails delivered after the update do not get lost, they are deliviered
to /var/mail/<username> which is the default. 

As we deliver to /home/<username>/.mail we were ab bit suprised .)

At least a backup would be nice.

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).
