> I'm not sure exactly what MH is
MH (and NMH - the total rewrite, drop-in replacement "New MH") is a mail-handling package distinguished by its use of the filesystem (as opposed to a single flat file or some sort of DB) for the basic message store. Your hierarchy of "folders" is actually a hierarchy of directories, with each message a file in one of those directories. Each operation (like reply, compose, show, sort, forward, search, etc) is its own little program that operates on those files/directories. There are a number of packages that can lay various interfaces overtop of the basic MH commands and present you with a clicky-GUI or a menu-driven text interface, but you never lose the ability to employ standard UNIX tools like grep/sed/awk to process your message store in ways that are sometimes hard or impossible with other approaches. As has already been mentioned, it ain't perfect, but whenever I have to use anything else I'm frustrated by how much control I've lost... _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
