Thanks for the clarifications.
What about ease of use, especially from a newbie perspective?
Also, which scripting language would you suggest? Is there already a
repository for nhm scripts?
There's a good number of example scripts in Jerry Peek's MH book† though

Thus spake Oliver Kiddle:
I've recently written scripts to create a temporary folder (using hard
links) based on notmuch search results. notmuch supports MH folders,
is very fast for searching and can identify threads but it's nothing
like as nice to use as nmh for most other mail
exmh was the gateway drug that got me into (n)mh usage in the 1990s.
Once I realized that I wanted to compose in emacs, I switched slowly
to MH-E. (That transition was 15 years ago). I also helped that my first
laptop had too little ram to run X-widnows, but could run emacs in console
mode (or
I really think you might want to consider mutt. It's not MH-specific (it
also supports maildir, mbox, IMAP and probably a few others), but it
certainly provides an excellent and highly customizable front-end for an MH
mail repository.
A word of caution: mutt has the same problem that Claws Mail

First of all, thanks to all of you guys on this mailing list. I am
learning a lot.
I hope you will excuse my many questions.
I was happy to find out, from Ken's last email, that there is yet
another front-end for nmh whose existence I did not know of: MH-V by
I'm not sure how this would be an issue, unless you had multiple
processes accessing the file at once, which is never the case for
me. (I don't have any cron jobs fetching email. I simply fetch it when
I want to read it.)
A number of people have fetchmail retrieving email, or procmail feeding

Unfortunately, all of the front-ends (and IMAP servers) that claim to

it half-assed. People make it work, but you have to be aware of the
limitations.

This is slightly off topic, I know, but what tablet has a 20 hr batter

I would be shocked if people still use xmh; wasn't it written with

Yeah, it was written in Xaw, but it was also written before Microsoft
Windows came with network support
There's a good number of example scripts in Jerry Peek's MH bookâ though
that book dates from the 90s. There's no repository of nmh scripts,
perhaps there should be... or something like a wiki.
We have $(srcdir)/docs/contrib, and there are a few things in there now.

We don't know your work flow. We don't know what features are important
to you. We don't know anything that could help us intelligently answer

I suggest you just install the various front ends, run each for a while,

I don't want to draw this out, but mutt is *so* much faster than any other
front end that anyone who wants to get through a large volume of mail quickly
really should check it out. It may be that there are some potential conflicts
with other MH programs, as Ken says, but it's possibly to make
