-
- Folks,
-
- The last time the FAQ was updated was on or around 2001.07.22:
-
- http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/mh-faq/part1/preamble.html
- http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/mail/mh-faq/part1.html
-
- This article is posted bi-weekly and contains a summary of recent
- changes, the table of contents, and instructions for obtaining the
- FAQ at the bottom.
-
-
- 2001.07.22
-
- Thanks to the bottom-feeding, address harvesting spam scum, I've
- removed the mailto links and replaced @s in addresses with the MHy
- "at" in an attempt to protect the mailboxes of the contributors.
- If this breaks the way you read this FAQ, please let me know
- immediately.
-
- Since my address is in the header and I won't break RFCs to prevent
- spam, I'll still take the heat. Thanks to spamfilter by Lars
- Wirzenius, Behan Webster, and Brian White, 100 messages are dumped
- or bounced a day so spam remains manageable.
-
- 2001.03.20
-
- In the past two years a lot has changed. SourceForge was born and
- nmh, exmh, and mh-e all moved their developmental work there in an
- effort to keep MH relevant in the 21st century.
-
- General changes to this version include a phasing in of nmh commands
- and files. Rather than say `mtstailor,' the FAQ now says, `mts.conf
- (mtstailor).' Also, the ftp and mail alternatives for obtaining
- files have been removed leaving only http sources. Even my mom uses
- the Web now.
-
- URLs and examples are all now consistently indented four spaces
- (instead of 0, 2, or 4 spaces, or a tab). If this excites you, send
- me mail. Here are the specific additions, deletions, and changes:
-

- MH with some bug fixes. A version of 6.8.4 is floating around, but
- it is not "official." In the meantime, Richard Coleman came up with
- a new version that fixes a lot of bugs and usability problems and
- uses GNU autoconf; this is something that MH sorely needed.
-
- nmh has changed the name of a couple of files: mtstailor is now
- mts.conf, mhn_defaults is now mhn.defaults. These changes are noted
- wherever these files are referenced.

- mh-e has been rehomed down at UCI and exmh followed Brent Welch
- <welch at sunlabs.sun.com> over to Sun. Paul Pomes
- <ppomes at Qualcomm.com> is now at Qualcomm. Kent Landfield has given
- his excellent FAQ site a domain: www.faqs.org.

-
- 27 November 1995
-
- Rather than place the date in square brackets, questions are now
- dated with "Date" fields. This will allow newsreaders that can sort
- by date (e.g., in nn, ":sort date") to display the newest items
- first. In previous items where actual dates could not be
- ascertained, the date of the first release, 1 Mar 91, was used.
-
- Because a single question may have several answers, and each answer
- has its own set of headers (Date and From), and because I didn't
- want to replicate the Subject header, the nn newsreader will have
- many empty subject fields in selection mode. While this works for
- "sort arrival," other sorts will display the articles out of
- context. Sorting on date also works because I have a convention of
- placing the most recently modified part first so that it contains
- the Subject field. Your comments are appreciated.
-
- References to the MH book have been updated for the 3rd Edition.
- References to the Second Edition remain in parenthesis.
-
- The HTML version of the FAQ has some bogus links. If you notice
- that both the ftp or http anchor and the file size are both
- highlighted, then you'll have to remove the file size from the URL
- manually.
-
- The FAQ has now broken the 100k barrier. Shall I:
-
- o leave it alone?
- o break it up into 2 pieces?
- o break it up at section boundaries (e.g., Intro, Building,
- Composing, etc.)?
-
- New Questions

-
- 13 May 1995
-
- The big news is that Jerry's 3rd edition of O'Reilly's "MH & xmh"
- book is finally out. This edition has new stuff on MIME, exmh, and
- mh-e. Note that Jerry has not yet updated the cross-references in
- the FAQ to the new edition.
-
- The mh-e work in the book also encouraged a new release of mh-e
- (V. 5.0) which now includes a Texinfo manual. It will be included
- with GNU Emacs 19.29 but can be obtained separately. See "What
- references exist for MH?" in the FAQ for more info.
-
- Hopefully, the URLs to files and the FAQ Web page are now correct.
-
- Question numbers now have leading zeros so that they sort correctly
- (when the FAQ is broken up in nn, for example).
-
- The archive name did not, in fact, change this time around.
-
- New Questions
-
- 4.4 How can you save News articles into an MH folder?
- 5.11 Can I post secure/encryped mail?
- 6.8 Fixing "post: unexpected response; [RPLY] 503 Need MAIL before RCPT"
- 6.9 Fixing "post: problem initializing server; [BHST] premature
- end-of-file on socket"

- 2.8 ...build MH on Linux? Updated paths!
- 5.4 ...include my signature? Improved mh-e code somewhat.
- 5.5 call editor with arguments? exec editor; use "$@" instead of $*.
- 6.1 Problems... draft removed ditto
- 8.1 ...documentation for mh-e? Yes!
- Glossary Added TIS, PEM, PGP and SMTP.
-
-
- 13 December 1994
-
- The archive name has been changed yet again. It was mh-faq, then
- mh-faq/part1, and now it's mail/mh-faq/part1. The Keywords header is
- now Son-of-1036 compliant.
-
- Steps have been made to make it palatable by Thomas Fine's WWW FAQ
- converter (see below for the URL although it might take a few days
- to get there) as well as several denizens of the net. I've placed
- rows of hyphens before each question and added cross references. In
- addition, I've moved the author of the answer to the From header and
- moved the question number into the Subject header field. It's a
- small thing, but I've also moved the pluses (+) and bangs (!) in the
- Table of Contents from the beginning of the line to lie *after* the
- question number so that new and changed questions subjects are
- identical in both the Table of Contents and in the text. This might
- affect software that was trained to look for new or changed
- questions in the Table of Contents.
-
- If you encounter any difficulties as a result of these changes,
- please let me know. You can also let me know if you like these
- changes! ;-)

- sections which should make it easier to find the answer to your
