Description:
MH is the name of a powerful message handling system. Rather then being
a single comprehensive program, MH consists of a collection of fairly
simple single-purpose programs to send, receive, save, and retrieve mes-
sages. The user should refer to the MH User's Manual and the pages for
the MH programs in the Unix Programmers Manual.
Unlike mail, the standard UNIX mail user interface program, MH is not a
closed system which must be explicitly run, then exited when you wish to
return to the shell. You may freely intersperse MH commands with other
shell commands, allowing you to read and answer your mail while you have
(for example) a compilation running, or search for a file or run pro-
grams as needed to find the answer to someone's question before answer-
ing their mail.
Advertised architectures: not stated
Prerequisites: C compiler, curses, lots of patience
Note:
The contrib directory contains the QuemeMH tool based on MH
that is nice e-mail tracking system for system administrators.
We use it to manage our trouble queue.
This system, has a VERY long-winded READ-ME file that tells
everything you need to know except how to actually get the
system configured and installed.
