Respects detailed environmental articles husband disregarded (9)
I believe the answer is:
greetings
'respects' is the definition.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for greetings that I've seen before include "Expressions of goodwill on meeting" , "Welcomes; regards" , "Kind of card" , "Salutations" , "Words of welcome" .)
