Ken, I think you will find things a lot easier if you try NMH instead of the very old and buggy MH. You can find NMH (New MH) at http://www.math.gatech.edu/nmh/ Frank -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PRO

Re: exmh mail?

1997-07-28 Thread Francis Swasey
exmh uses mh to actually process mail. The mh that comes with debian requires sendmail. If you want to get your mail directly from your ISP, you have to do it manually with mh (due to a BUG in mh dealing with .netrc files) -- However, there is a version of nmh that has been packaged for debian (al
