Yes, we (the MH-E project) have added GNU mailutils support so its MH support appears to be complete. I haven't personally used it though. I don't know if GNU mailutils would be a good next-generation nmh or not. Perhaps someone might be able to expand upon this. When I looked a while back, it appeared that just enough had been implemented to support MH-E, but not enough to support exmh. Clearly someone with the required C skills needs to get inspired to flesh out other parts of the package so the other MH front ends can work. Sadly, that person isn't me.

Re: [Nmh-workers] Nmh status - working on nmh (mailutils)
Hi Jon, I seem to recall (an I may be wrong here), that mailutils did a one-folder-per-file thing, instead on nmh's one-message-per-file. I don't want to lose one-message-per-file, it's one of nmh's great strengths. I thought it had separated back-end storage from front end commands, e.g. MH versus mbox. Unfortunately, the online documentation has a `FIXME' for an MH section and I haven't the time to use the source at the moment. http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils/manual/html_chapter/mailutils_3.html#SEC99 Cheers, Ralph. ___ Nmh-workers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
Re: [Nmh-workers] Nmh status - working on nmh
let's pass the torch to someone else. It would really be nice to have something later than 1.04 included in Linux releases. Actually 1.1 is included in debian unstable and testing and will be part of the upcoming release in a few weeks. (Thanks to Nick for his patience with that no so easy to maintain package.) Is there any sort of wish list for nmh development? There are a number of issues in the TODO list. I don't know who maintains it though. I feel most important is better mime support ... and of course cleaning up the code. Harald ___ Nmh-workers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers

Has anyone looked at the GNU project mailutils? They've engineered their own MH access and manipulation library, provided some compatibility between nmh and their own mailutils-mh commands. It's not as complete as NMH, by any means, but I would be interested to hear what NMH developers/users have to say in comparison between the two projects. Should we promote some cross-project seeding and sharing of information? -- Chad Walstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ Nmh-workers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
