  MH-E is the Emacs interface to the MH mail system. It offers all the
  functionality of MH, the visual orientation and simplicity of use of
  a GUI, and full integration with Emacs and XEmacs, including
  thorough configuration and online help.

  MH-E allows one to read and process mail very quickly: many commands
  are single characters; completion and smart defaults are used for
  folder names and aliases. With MH-E you compose outgoing messages in
  Emacs. This is a big plus for Emacs users, but even non-Emacs users
  have been known to use MH-E after only learning the most basic
  cursor motion commands.

  Additional features include:

      * attractive text rendering with font lock
      * composition and display of MIME body parts
      * display of images and HTML within the Emacs frame
      * folder browsing with speedbar
      * threading
      * ticking messages
      * lightning-fast full-text indexed searches of all of your email
      * virtual folders to view ticked and unseen messages, search results
      * multiple personalities
      * signing and encrypting
      * spam filter interaction
      * XFace, Face, X-Image-URL header field support with picons

  The GNU Emacs distribution includes MH-E.

  MH-E is maintained at SourceForge:

  The terminal-oriented, fast, and powerful mutt mail client not only
  supports the MH mail format but also supports .mh_sequences files,
  providing a robust interface to MH. It is also amazingly
  configurable and is very adept at handling MIME attachments and HTML
  mail.

  Unlike MH, the displayed message numbers do not necessarily
  correspond to the message filenames. This makes threading and
  sorting lightning fast but slower to display very large folders.

  Vmh is designed for people using the bulletin-board features of MH,
  where mail is stored in packed (single-file) folders. As a result,
  use of this program cannot be mixed with the use of normal MH
  commands. Vmh is a part of the official MH distribution.

  Xmh is a X11 mouse-based MH browsing tool. It is very powerful and
  feature-filled and thus comes with a moderate learning curve. Its
  dependence on the X11 environment makes it very reconfigurable, but
  only by people well-versed in X applications programming. Its
  message reply built-in-editor interface is not always popular among
  those used to having MH bring up the editor of their choice.

  Metamail is a package that can be used to convert virtually ANY
  mail-reading program on Unix into a multi-media mail-reading
  program. It is an extremely generic implementation of MIME
  (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), the proposed standard for
  multi-media mail formats on the Internet. The implementation is
  extremely flexible and extensible, using a "mailcap" file mechanism
  for adding support for new data formats when sent through the mail.
  At a heterogeneous site where many mail readers are in use, the
  mailcap mechanism can be used to extend them all to support new
  types of multi-media mail by a single addition to a mailcap file.

  The metamail distribution comes complete with a small patch for each
  of over a dozen popular mail reading programs, including Berkeley
  mail, mh, Elm, Xmh, Xmail, Mailtool, Emacs Rmail, Emacs VM, Andrew,
  and others. Note that the MH patches are now integrated into MH 6.8.

  Plum is a highly configurable and extensible screen-oriented
  front-end for processing MH mail on ASCII terminals. Unlike MH-E,
  the extension language used in plum is perl, not LISP. Plum offers
  many of the advantages of xmh, but lacks several of xmh's
  disadvantages. The look&feel derives more from vi than from emacs.
  Key bindings and functions may be changed on the fly to suit the
  user's preference. It offers filename and word completion on folder,
  variables, and command names.

  Until it is included in the standard distribution (under
  miscellany), you can find a copy on:

  Mhunify is a set of perl scripts and templates that provides
  shell-level MH functionality with USENET news. Since MH supports
  MIME, MIME-format news articles just work. I've found that being
  able to handle news in the same way that I handle email is very
  useful, although there are some tradeoffs.

  Mhunify also treats MH folders just like news groups. If you
  subscribe to several mailing lists, and your email is automatically
  delivered to separate folders, say, via procmail or via MMDF's
  .maildelivery, the mhunify package lets you progress automatically
  through your folders just as you would news groups.

  olmh is a demo for OLIT (Open Look Interface Toolkit, the Open Look
  wrapper to Xt) in Sun's Open Windows 3 that does handle 3rd and
  subsequent levels of nesting of folders.

  Obtain the Open Windows 3 distribution CD/ROM from Sun (SPARC only).
  To do this, call 1-800-USA-4SUN and send tone "2" for telemarketing
  after it answers. The 4.1.2 CD/ROM may also have Open Windows 3. The
  list price for the 4.1.2 CD/ROM is $200.

  Vmail is a curses-based, vi-like message browser which calls on MH
  programs to manipulate mail. It can be used on almost any terminal.
  It organizes mail folders into index pages, from which a message can
  be selected to be shown, replied-to, forwarded, refiled, deleted,
  and so on. The vi-like interface and command keystrokes are
  comfortable to less-experienced Unix users, and it is a small,
  compact program, unlike the MH-E Emacs package.

  This version of vmail has been bugfixed and enhanced from the
  original vmail published on the net in 1987 by J. Zobel.

  vmailtool may be for you if you have a Sun workstation. It is a
  button gadget panel for the above-mentioned vmail program. It brings
  vmail into the windows era where people no longer need to memorize
  specific command keystrokes. It also provides a mail icon with the
  flag that pops up when new mail arrives. Again, this is a compact,
  simple tool, unlike the powerful xmh program. Still, it's a welcome
  alternative for many people who are running SunView or OpenWindows.

  MMH, My Mail Handler, is a Motif interface for reading and sending
  mail. It uses the MH commands to actually handle sending a receiving
  messages. It does not support all the capabilities of MH, but offers
  a large enough subset to handle the majority of users. Its intended
  user is someone between "bumbling email novice" and "sophisticated
  user". Hooks are provided to allow the user to customize and add new
  commands.

  Qmh is an MH-based group mail management tool. Written entirely in
  perl, Qmh combines the best aspects of MH with group mail heuristics
  and delivers a sensible package for all levels of Unix users. A
  limitless number of individual queues and associated groups of
  permitted users can be established.

  Specific functionality includes the following modes of operation;
  checking header dates and sending reminder/deadline mail, editing
  existing messages, help screens, creating new messages from scratch
  or exiting messages, resolving messages, scanning queue folders, and
  annotating with status both by editing and sending mail.

  Qmh is a single generic program in and of itself from which all
  modes of operation are invoked. Additionally, each separate queue
  may be accessed via a link to the single program. All system
  configuration is maintained in a single file that is read upon each
  invocation of Qmh. Formatting and template files are provided in the
  system library, although individual users can override the defaults
  simply by creating equivalent files in their own MH mail directory.

  Qmh provides a powerful database-like functionality by allowing
  limitless per-queue X-Qmh-<$value> headers to be included in
  messages. These "fields" then form the context of the queue messages
  and provide a user-defined, but yet structured environment for
  queries, reporting, and random information.

  Qmh is designed to provide a complete solution for SA groups, help
  desks, support organizations, or wherever two or more individuals
  are trying to manage multiple mail requests.

  Qmh is also compatible with versions of xmh that provide user-level
  command buttons. Provided in the Qmh package is a ~/.Xdefaults
  template file that's setup to harness the power of Qmh.
