I'm a bit out of the loop, but that statment is like saying that Netscape is so terribly inflexible compared to XML. Mutt is a MUA and can read mh boxes as well as the typical unix mailbox format. } MH provides a base set of very low level mail handling tools, } essentially mail primitives, and then a set of configuration files } which they share, while only just barely (and arguably not at all), } defining a framwork for those tools to operate in. You can build } absolutely anything you want out from there. Which is nice, but there exist Perl modules -- heck, maybe libraries :) -- to deal with typical mailbox format. And then you can build anything. But yes; mh in a sense already has everything conveniently laid out as little tools, in the unix mindset. -- An Thi-Nguyen Le |If ignorance is bliss, why aren't there more happy people?
