  I have gotten MH-E to work on Windows (under Cygwin) using Earl
  Hood's patched nmh. It was really quite simple, but not very
  portable. I just needed to add/subtract "c:/cygwin" from a couple of
  places. Now it can read and send mail (even does PGP attachments).
  Thought this might be of interest to those of you stuck using
  Windows at work.

  I've made a tar/bz2 bundle available at

    <http://www.nacs.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/tmp/nmh-1.0.4-ehood-cygwin.tar.bz2>

  This includes the patched source with binaries pre-built.

  I just remembered that I also had to hack the makefiles to get
  things to install since windoze executables have to end with .exe. I
  hacked the generated makefiles, so if you rerun configure, you may
  lose the hacks. Also, I believe the install will fail when trying to
  install the documentation, so to force things do:

    make -i install

  The binaries and support files should get installed (under
  /usr/local/nmh), but the docs probably won't.

  Then you will need to edit /usr/local/nmh/etc/mts.conf to reflect
  your local configuration.

  If anyone has any problems installing, I could zip up my
  /usr/local/nmh since I think it contains everything needed for
  runtime usage.

  If you have Windows, consider looking at VMware

    http://www.vmware.com/
  
  which provides a virtual machine where you can run Unix and
  therefore MH under Windows.

  The latest Cygnus Cygwin, GNU tools that run under Windows,

    http://www.cygwin.com/
 
  seems to work pretty well and may well be able to build nmh.
