Description

exmh is a TCL/TK based interface to the MH mail system. It provides the usual layer on top of MH commands, as well as many other features:

MIME support!  Displays richtext and enriched directly.
Color feedback in the scan listing.
A colour coded folder display with one label per folder.
Smart scan caching.  News read/post.  koi8-r support.
Facesaver bitmap display.  Ispell support.
Background inc.  You can set exmh to run inc periodically.
Searching over folder listing and message body.
A dialog-box interface to MH pick.
An editor with emacs-like bindings and MIME support.
Glimpse interface.  You can index all your mail with glimpse
   and search for messages by content.
User preferences.  You can tune exmh through a dialog box.
User hacking support.  A user library of TCL routines is supported.

IMPORTANT: exmh depends on the TK send facility for its background processing. With TK 3.3, send now uses xauthority mechanisms by default, unless you compile TK with -DTK_NO_SECURITY. Generally, this means that you **MUST** must run xdm to start your Xserver.
