1) What is nmh?

    nmh (new MH) is electronic mail handling system based on version
    6.8.3 of the MH message system originally developed by the RAND
    Corporation and the University of California.

2) Is it nmh, Nmh, nMH, NMH?

   It's nmh.  I hate capital letters.

3) Who is developing nmh?

   Richard Coleman
   coleman@math.gatech.edu
   http://www.math.gatech.edu/~coleman

4) Why are you developing nmh?

   Too much time on my hands, or stupidity.  I'm not sure which.

5) What is the copyright status of nmh?

   nmh is distributed under a variant of the classical BSD copyright.
   Check the COPYRIGHT file in the nmh distribution for the details.
   There are some specific files which were contributed to the original
   MH package that are copyrighted by their original author.  I have
   retained the copyright notices of these authors in these files.

   Essentially, you can do anything you want with the nmh package as long
   as you don't blame me if it trashes all your mail.

6) What is the difference between nmh and MH?

   From a user's standpoint, there is currently not much difference
   between nmh and mh-6.8.3, although that may change in the future.
   From an administrator's viewpoint, nmh should be easier to install and
   maintain, since it has been converted to GNU autoconf.  Also some
   features from mh-6.8.3 have been removed, or are not currently
   supported such as the pop daemon, and support for mmdf and bulletin
   boards.  UCI has released mh-6.8.4, but the new features it adds have
   not yet been added to nmh.

7) Which mail transfer agents (MTA's) are supported?

   Currently only sendmail is supported.  Also there is optional
   pop-client support.

8) Where do I get nmh?

    The latest version of nmh is available at
    ftp://ftp.math.gatech.edu/pub/nmh/nmh.tar.gz

9) Where is the nmh web page?

    The nmh home page is located at
    http://www.math.gatech.edu/nmh/

10) Where is the nmh mailing list?
