!01.02 What is the current version/status of MH.
Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2007 23:51:52 -0700 The current official version of MH is 6.8.3, although a beta of 6.8.4 is available. This version includes MIME, a multi-media MH package that implements the new IETF work on Multi-media 822 (MIME). This allows you to include things like audio, graphics, and the like, in your mail messages. --Marshall Rose <mrose at dbc.mtview.ca.us> MH now works with Kerberos as well. In addition, a new program called mhparam extracts arguments from .mh_profile which is useful in shell scripts. Please see the file CHANGES in the distribution for more details. Due to the languishing state of MH, Richard Coleman <coleman at math.gatech.edu> created another version of MH called nmh based upon MH 6.8.3. He added GNU autoconf to ease installation considerably and fixed several bugs and inconsistencies. Doug Morris <doug at mhost.com. hosted the web site, mailing lists, web pages, and CVS repository for a long time. Ken Hornstein <kenh at pobox.com> picked up the torch in 2002 and moved development to Savannah where Jon Steinhart <nmh at fourwinds.com> joined him as a project maintainer. See http://www.nongnu.org/nmh/. The stable version of nmh is 1.2. The file DIFFERENCES in the nmh distribution contains an ever-growing list of differences between nmh and MH. GNU mailutils (version 1.2) is a collection of mail-related utilities. At the core of mailutils is libmailbox, a library which provides access to various forms of mailbox files (including remote mailboxes via popular protocols and MH). See http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils/.
