[bug-mailutils] argument parsing

[djh]

I tracked what I think is a bug in mh "send" program's argument parsing. 
 This might be common for other mh programs as well, but I haven't looked.

Here is a description of the problem:

Invoking Mailutils send command direct from the command line with the 
exact same arguments that mh-e invokes it with, and invoking it without 
quoated arguments.

In mh-comp.el's  mh-send-letter function definition, MH send is called like:

(mh-exec-cmd-daemon mh-send-prog nil "-nodraftfolder" "-noverbose"
                               mh-send-args file-name)

All arguments have double quotes around them.  The one with double 
quotes, gave me the same error message as when invoked from within mh-e.

----------------
$ send "-nodraftfolder" "-noverbose" "-msgid " 
"/home/henman/mail/drafts/1894"
send: invalid option -- m

error here with $? == 64.

----------------
$ send  -nodraftfolder   -noverbose   -msgid 
/home/henman/mail/drafts/1894
$
success here with $? == 0

Help.  I tried going through send, but am not familiar with the argument 
parsing at all.

I think that the programs should be able to handle quoted arguments.

Please look into it.

Thanks,
