Description

What is it?

nmh (new MH) is an electronic mail handling system - a MUA (Mail User Agent) package for end-users to handle their e-mail. It was originally based on the package MH-6.8.3, and is intended to be a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.

nmh consists of a collection of fairly simple single-purpose programs to send, receive, save, retrieve, and manipulate e-mail messages. Since nmh is not a single comprehensive program, you may freely intersperse nmh commands with other shells commands, or write custom scripts which utilize these commands in flexible ways.
