1) What is nmh?

    nmh (new MH) is an electronic mail handling system.  It is based on
    version 6.8.3 of the MH message system originally developed by the
    RAND Corporation and the University of California.

2) Is it nmh, Nmh, nMH, NMH?

   It's nmh.  I hate capital letters.

3) Who is developing nmh?

   Richard Coleman
   coleman@math.gatech.edu
   http://www.math.gatech.edu/~coleman

4) Why are you developing nmh?

   For several reasons.
   a) It's an interesting project.
   b) I like using MH/nmh.
   c) I wanted to increase the portability of MH.
   d) I wanted to make MH easier to install (convert to autoconf).
   e) I wanted to remove all the unnecessary junk from the
      MH distribution (pop daemon, bulletin board support, etc...).

5) What is the copyright status of nmh?

   nmh is distributed under a variant of the classical BSD copyright.
   Check the COPYRIGHT file in the nmh distribution for the details.
   There are some specific files which were contributed to the original
   MH package that are copyrighted by their original author.  I have
   retained the copyright notices of these authors in these files.

   Essentially, you can do anything you want with the nmh package as long
   as you don't blame me if it trashes all your mail.

   Check the file DIFFERENCES in the nmh distribution for a list of
   differences between nmh and MH.
