Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.064



The host system runs a primitive version of FTP supporting only a
limited number of commands.  After opening a connection to this
site, move to the subdirectory a1$rjs.mexico, scan the contents of
the subdirectory, and retrieve desired files using the get command.

-------
EXAMPLE:
-------

ftp isumvs.iastate.edu
User: anonymous
Password: {enter valid e-mail address}
cd a1$rjs.mexico
ls
get mexstat

This instruction will retrieve file mexstat on the remote directory
a1$rjs.mexico and place the file on your local machine's current
directory.

FAQs are heavily edited for brevity and clarity.  Each item is
quoted in the language in which it was originally discussed.  Even
though an effort was made to abbreviate items as much as possible,
certain questions cannot be answered in just a few lines!  For ease
of retrieval of specific FAQs, following is an index of the items

  This is a living list of frequently asked questions on the mailer
  user interface, Mail Handler, or MH.  The point of this is to
  circulate existing information, and avoid rehashing old answers.
  Better to build on top than start again.  Please read this document
  before ever posting to this newsgroup.

  This article is posted monthly.  If it has already expired and
  you're not reading this, you can hope that you saved the last bit of
  question 3 so that you can get a copy yourself.

  Please do not post an answer when someone posts a frequently asked
  question, as I will always e-mail a reply.  This ensures that
  everybody gets their question answered fully and eliminates
  unnecessary traffic in this newsgroup.

Subject: Viewing This Article
From: Preface

  To skip to a particular question numbered xx, use "/^F.*xx" with most
  pagers.  In GNU Emacs type "M-C-s ^F.*xx", (or C-r to search backwards),
  followed by ESC to end the search.  "-xx" is often sufficient.

  To skip to new or changed questions, use "/^S.*[!+]" with most pagers and
  "M-C-s ^S.*[!+]" in GNU Emacs.

  This article is in digest format.  Nn may have already broken this
  message into separate articles; if not, then type "G %".  In rn, use
  ^G to skip sections.

  This article is treated as an outline when edited by GNU Emacs.
  Run "M-x describe-mode" to see available outline-mode commands.
  Useful commands are "C-c C-s" (show-subtree) and "M-x show-all"

Subject: Why should I use MH?
From: Intro-1

  The MH message handling system is a set of electronic mail programs
  in the public domain.  If your computer runs UNIX, it can probably
  run MH.

  The big difference between MH and most other "mail user agents" is
  that you can use MH from a UNIX shell prompt.  In MH, each command
  is a separate program, and the shell is used as an interpreter.  So,
  all the power of UNIX shells (pipes, redirection, history, aliases,
  and so on) works with MH--you don't have to learn a new interface.
  other mail agents have their own command interpreter for their
  individual mail commands (although the mush mail agent simulates a
  UNIX shell).

  Because MH commands aren't part of a monolithic mail system, you can
  use them at any time; you don't have to start or quit the mail
  agent.  Because you use them from a shell prompt, you can use all
  the power of the shell.

  If your shell has time-saving aliases or functions (and most do),
  you'll be able to use them with MH, of course.  And because MH isn't
  a monolithic mail agent, you can use MH commands in UNIX shell
  scripts, or call them from programs in high-level languages like C.

  Unlike most mail agents, MH keeps each message in a separate file.
  The filename is the message number.  To rearrange the messages, MH
  just changes the filenames.  MH can use standard UNIX filesystem
  operations such as removing, copying and linking on it messages.
  The message files are grouped into one or more folders, which are
  actually UNIX directories.

  MH is free, powerful, flexible--and the basics are easy to learn.

From: Intro-2

  The current version of MH is 6.7.2.

  MH 6.8 is currently in beta-test and will include the MIME extension
  discussed in "What other MH software is available?"  [12.92]

  via mail:
    Send a note to [e-mail] whose body contains "help" on a line
    by itself get information on getting ftp sources by mail.  Also include
    the lines "connect" and "dir /pub/mail/ua/mh" to see which files are
    available locally.  Please do this as a last resort only.

    Send a note to [e-mail] with a body containing the
    following:

      send mail/mh/MH.6.7.2.Z

    Send a note to [e-mail] with a
    body containing the following:

      get /pub/communication/mh/mh-6.7.tar.Z

    Send a note to [e-mail] with a body containing the
    following:

      send /mail/mh/mh-6.7.2.tar.Z

    UK users may be able to use [e-mail].  Send a note
    whose body contains "help" to this address. [12.92]

  via U.S. mail:
    Send a check for $75.00 drawn on U.S. funds made out to the
    "Regents of the University of California" to:

        Univeristy of California at Irvine
    Office of Academic Computing
    360 Computer Science
    Irvine, CA  92717  USA
        [phone]

    This covers the cost of a 6250 bpi 9-track magtape, handling, and
    shipping.  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.  It's also a good idea (though not mandatory) to
    send a computer mail message to "[e-mail]" when you send
    your check via usps to ensure minimal turn-around time.

    Sadly, if you just want the hard-copies of the documentation, you
    still have to pay the $75.00.  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.  [9.92]

    The files are in packf(1) format, compressed with compress(1).  To
    get them, use anonymous ftp and set "binary" transfer mode.  Even
    though I stripped out "Received" lines and etc., some files are
    pretty big:

        mh-users.86.Z     8549        mh-users.87.Z    55449

    mh-users.mbox   current archive, uncompressed.

    There are directions in the README file.  Basically, you can use
    either "msh" or the individual commands "inc -file" to get the
    messages into a folder, and then "scan", "pick", "show", and so on
    (or your favorite commands in xmh, mh-e, etc.).  --Jerry Peek

Subject: ! What other MH software is available?
From: Intro-4

  vmh
    Vmh is designed for people using the bulletin-board features
    of MH, where mail is stored in packed (single-file) folders.  As
    a result, use of this program cannot be mixed with the use of
    normal MH commands.  Vmh is a part of the official MH
    distribution.  --James Perkins <[e-mail]>

  xmh
    Xmh is a X11 mouse-based MH browsing tool.  It is very powerful
    and feature-filled and thus comes with a moderate learning
    curve.  Its dependence on the X11 environment makes it very
    reconfigurable, but only by people well-versed in X applications
    programming.  Its message reply built-in-editor interface is not
    always popular among those used to having MH bring up the editor
    of their choice.  --James Perkins <[e-mail]>

    xmh is part of the standard X Window System distribution from
    MIT.  Ultrix also ships dxmail which is similar.

    cs.utk.edu     [128.169.201.1]    pub/xmh.shar.Z        161KB

    Morten Tandle <[e-mail]> is working on integrating MIME
    into xmh. [12.92]

  olmh
    Sun's Open Windows 3 comes with a demo for OLIT (Open Look
    Interface Toolkit, the Open Look wrapper to Xt) named olmh that
    does handle 3rd and subsequent levels of nesting of folders.
    --Dale Carstensen <[e-mail]>

    Obtain the Open Windows 3 distribution CD/ROM from Sun (SPARC
    only).  To do this, call 1-800-USA-4SUN and send tone "2" for
    telemarketing after it answers.  The 4.1.2 CD/ROM may also have
    Open Windows 3.  The list price for the 4.1.2 CD/ROM is $200.

  mh-e
    Mh-e is the GNU Emacs front end for MH.  It offers all the
    functionality of MH, the visual orientation and simplicity of
    use of xmh, and full integration with Emacs, including thorough
    configurability.  The command set is similar to that of rmail
    (the Emacs front end for BSD mail) and BSD mail itself.  On-line
    help is available.

    Mh-e allows one to read and process mail very quickly: commands
    are single characters and completion and defaults are available
    for file and folder names.  During a reply, the original message
    is displayed simultaneously in another window for easy reference
    where a mh-e command can quickly incorporate and format this
    text into your reply.

    With mh-e you compose outgoing messages in Emacs.  This is a big
    plus for Emacs users, but it has been known for non-Emacs users
    to be able use mh-e after only learning the most basic cursor
    motion commands.  Mh-e is easily configured via the Emacs
    edit-options menu, and people familiar with Emacs Lisp will be
    able to further reconfigure mh-e beyond recognition.  --Stephen
    Gildea <[e-mail]>

    Mh-e is part of the standard GNU Emacs distribution.  Note
    that mh-e got much faster in Emacs 18.56.

  vmail
    Vmail is a curses-based, vi-like message browser which calls on
    MH programs to manipulate mail.  It can be used on almost any
    terminal.  It organizes mail folders into index pages, from
    which a message can be selected to be shown, replied-to,
    forwarded, refiled, deleted, and so on.  The vi-like interface
    and command keystrokes are comfortable to less-experienced UNIX
    users, and it is a small, compact program, unlike the mh-e Emacs
    package.

    This version of vmail has been bugfixed and enhanced from the
    original vmail published on the net in 1987 by J. Zobel.

  vmailtool
    If you have a Sun workstation, vmailtool may be for you.  It is
    a button gadget panel for the above-mentioned vmail program.  It
    brings vmail into the windows era where people no longer need to
    memorize specific command keystrokes.  It also provides a mail
    icon with the flag that pops up when new mail arrives.  Again,
    this is a compact, simple tool, unlike the powerful xmh program.
    Still, it's a welcome alternative for many people who are
    running SunView or OpenWindows.  --James Perkins

  plum
    Plum is a highly configurable and extensible screen-oriented front-end
    for processing MH mail on ASCII terminals.  Unlike mh-e, the extension
    language used in plum is perl, not LISP.  Plum offers many of the
    advantages of xmh, but lacks several of xmh's disadvantages.  The
    look&feel derives more from vi than from emacs.  Key bindings and
    functions may be changed on the fly to suit the user's preference.  It
    offers filename and word completion on folder, variables, and command
    names.

    Until it is included in the standard distribution (under miscellany),
    you can find a copy on:

  mmh
    MMH, My Mail Handler, is a Motif interface for reading and sending mail.
    It uses the MH commands to actually handle sending a receiving messages.
    It does not support all the capabilities of MH, but offers a large
    enough subset to handle the majority of users.  Its intended user is
    someone between "bumbling e-mail novice" and "sophisticated user".
    Hooks are provided to allow the user to customize and add new commands.

  mime
    Mime is a multi-media MH package that implements the new IETF work on
    Multi-media 822 (MIME).  This allows you to include things like audio,
    graphics, and the like, in your mail messages.  The next distribution,
    MH 6.8, will be MIME-capable.  The following file works only
    with MH 6.7.2.  --Marshall Rose <[e-mail]>  [12.92]

  metamail
    Metamail is a package that can be used to convert virtually ANY
    mail-reading program on UNIX into a multimedia mail-reading program.
    It is an extermely generic implementation of MIME (Multipurpose
    Internet Mail Extensions), the proposed standard for multimedia mail
    formats on the Internet.  The implementation is extremely flexible and
    extensible, using a "mailcap" file mechanism for adding support for new
    data formats when sent through the mail.  At a heterogeneous site where
    many mail readers are in use, the mailcap mechanism can be used to
    extend them all to support new types of multimedia mail by a single
    addition to a mailcap file.

    The metamail distribution comes complete with a small patch for each of
    over a dozen popular mail reading programs, including Berkeley mail,
    mh, Elm, Xmh, Xmail, Mailtool, Emacs Rmail, Emacs VM, Andrew, and
    others.  --Nathaniel Borenstein <[e-mail]>

  X.500 lookups
    If a name is enclosed in square brackets, when entering a destination
    address, ie:

    To: [Greg Wickham,CSIRO]

    a search will be made in the X.500 Directory for the individual's entry.
    If an address exists then it will be extracted and placed into the
    headers.  Mail requests for the software to the author.  --Andrew

  Kerberos for MH:
    I have made a set of diffs between his source tree and standard mh
    6.7.1 available.  If you don't have anonymous ftp access, you can get
    to the files by sending mail to [e-mail].
    Send a message with "help" in the subject line and body for more
    information.  The mh diffs are in the "misc" archive of the archive
    server.  --Jonathan Kamens <[e-mail]>

Subject: How can I print a MH manual?
From: Intro-5

  To order a copy by mail, see the section on how to get MH by mail in
  "Where can I get MH?"  Also, check "What references exist for MH?"

  To print your own copy, first obtain the MH sources ("Where can I
  get MH?") if you don't already have it, go into the "doc" directory
  and run "make guide" to create the administrators guide and "make
  manual" to create a user's manual which includes tutorials and man
  pages.  If the doc directory is empty, you'll have to compile MH so
  that the documentation with correct local information is created.

  You can also ftp the ASCII or postscript versions:
