It seems that Pedro Giffuni said: > MH is a public domain package developed by the RAND corporation that > permits mail management with a shell. I knew of it because it is > necesary for using XMH, and several operating systems like AIX include it. I object strongly against this. I can't stand MH (and I'm sure others can't stand Elm or PINE) so it is really a matter of personal preference. Including it in the main base means more code to maintain and force people to have it. The argument can be used for any package other than Mail so its why we don't have one of them in the base code. > The latest version I know, mh-6.8.tar.gz, also includes support for > POP2-POP3 and IMAPD (if NNTP is present it can also be handled). The latest is 6.8.3 and have been in ports for a long time. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #1: Sun Jan 14 20:23:45 MET 1996
