- Many of you know that a MIME-capable version of MH has been in beta for
- some months now. I am pleased to announce that the beta period has
- ended and a new release of MH, including MIME support, is now available.
- Below is the release information.

- I'm pleased to announce a new release of the UCI version of
- the RAND MH Message Handling System. The current release is
-
- MH 6.8
-
- Here are the details:
-
- - MH is in the public-domain
- - MH runs on a number of versions of UNIX (4.[123]BSD, V7,
- SYS5, and related variants, e.g., SVR4, HPUX)
- - MH runs on top of a number of mail transport systems
- (MMDF-{I,II}, SendMail, stand-alone (with UUCP support))
-
- Although MH is not "supported" per se, it does have a
- bug-reporting address, Bug-MH@ICS.UCI.EDU (ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh).
- Bug reports (and fixes) are welcome, by the way. There are also
- two Internet discussion groups: MH-Users@ICS.UCI.EDU and
- MH-Workers@ICS.UCI.EDU. MH-Users is bi-directionally gatewayed
- to USENET as comp.mail.mh.
-
- CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE
-
- There are quite a few changes in this release. Of particular
- note: MH can now handle multi-media (MIME) messages. I will
- post the entire MH changes document separately.
-
- HOW TO GET MH
-
- There are two ways to get the latest release:
-
- 1. If you can FTP to the ARPA Internet, use anonymous FTP
- to ftp.ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1] and retrieve the file
- pub/mh/mh-6.8.tar.Z. This is a tar image after being run
- through the compress program (approximately 1.8MB). There
- should also be a README file in that directory which tells
- what the current release of MH is, and how to get updates.
-
- This tar file is also available on louie.udel.edu
- [128.175.1.3] in portal/mh-6.8.tar.Z. You may also find MH
- on various other hosts; to make sure you get the latest ver-
- sion and don't waste your time re-fixing bugs, it's best to
- get it from either ftp.ics.uci.edu or louie.udel.edu.
-
- The usual FTP mirror sites (uunet, etc.) should have MH 6.8
- available within a few days.
-
- 2. You can send $75 US to the address below. This covers
- the cost of a 6250 BPI 9-track magtape, handling, and ship-
- ping. In addition, you'll get a laser-printed hard-copy of
- the entire MH documentation set. Be sure to include your
- USPS address with your check. Checks must be drawn on U.S.
- funds and should be made payable to:
-
- Regents of the University of California
-
- The distribution address is:
-
- Univeristy of California at Irvine
- Office of Academic Computing
- 360 Computer Science
- Irvine, CA 92717 USA
-
- +1 714 856 5153
-
- Sadly, if you just want the hard-copies of the documenta-
- tion, you still have to pay the $75. The tar image has the
- documentation source (the manual is in roff format, but the
- rest are in TeX format). Postscript formatted versions of
- the TeX papers are available, as are crude tty-conversions
- of those papers.
-
- UPDATES
-
- The updates from MH 6.7.2 to MH 6.8 are quite large (about
- 1.5Mb uncompressed). I'm still considering how to make them
- available. More details will follow
-
- CORRESPONDENCE
-
- As always, please send any bug reports or comments about MH to
- the address "bug-mh@ics.uci.edu" (...ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh).
