-----------
what is it?
-----------
nmh (new MH) is an electronic mail handling system.  It was
originally based on the package MH-6.8.3, and is intended to be
a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.

Although development of nmh is ongoing, it appears to be generally
stable and is in current use.  But it is possible that we may
break things as changes are made.

--------------
installing nmh
--------------
To install nmh, check the INSTALL and MACHINES files.  If you have
previously used MH, check the file DIFFERENCES for a list of the
differences between nmh and MH.

acknowledgments
----------------
The original MH system was developed by the RAND Corporation and the
University of California.

nmh was started by Richard Coleman (coleman@math.gatech.edu) after
development on MH mostly stopped. He did the original autoconfiscation
and most of the other work up until version 1.0.

nmh uses (v)snprintf code from the Apache web server, so we need to
make the following acknowlegement:

This product includes software developed by the Apache Group
for use in the Apache HTTP server project (http://www.apache.org/).
