+exmh version: 1.6.7
+Brent.Welch@eng.sun.com
+
+exmh is a TCL/TK based interface to the MH mail system.
+
+Version 1.6* is compatible with Tk 4.1, Tk4.0, Tk3.6, and Tk3.3
+    Some features (e.g., color face icons) only work with Tk 4.0 or greater.
+exmh is known to work with MH versions 6.7 and 6.8.*
+
+**************************************************
+VERY IMPORTANT. PLEASE READ. SOURCE OF MANY PROBLEMS. READ THIS HERE :-)
+
+exmh depends on the TK send facility for its background processing.
+With TK 3.3, send now uses xauthority mechanisms by default, unless
+you compile TK with -DTK_NO_SECURITY.  A manifestation of problems are
+that background processing doesn't work: new messages are not scanned
+into the current folder, the flag icon doesn't behave, and so on.
+Similarly, use of the exmh-async wrapper script also fails.
+If you cannot recompile wish, then the trick is to get your X server process
+started with the right incantation.
+
+Generally, this means that you must run xdm to start your Xserver.

+
+EXMH lives "high in the food chain".  You'll need some additional softare:

+FEATURES
+
+As well as providing the usual layer on top of MH commands, exmh
+has a number of other features:
+
+    MIME support!  Displays richtext and enriched directly.  Parses
+    multipart messages.  A popup menu under the right button can invoke
+    external viewers (metamail) for things not directly supported.
+    Built-in editor allows simple composition of text/enriched format
+    and multipart messages (via Insert Part).
+
+    Color feedback in the scan listing so you can easily identify
+    unseen messages (blue), the current message (red), deleted
+    messages (gray background), and moved messages (yellow background).
+    Xresources control these color choices.
+
+    Monochrome displays highlight unseen messages with underline,
+    current message in reverse video, deleted messages with cross-hatching
+    background, and moved messages with stippled background.
+
+    A folder display with one label per folder.  Color highlights
+    indicate the current folder (red), folders with unseen messages
+    in them (blue), and the target folder for moves (yellow background).
+    Nested folders are highlighted by a shadow box.  A cache of
+    recently visted folder buttons is also maintained.  Monochrome
+    highlights are reverse video for the current folder, bold box
+    for folders with unseen messages, and stippled box for the
+    target of move operations.
+
+    Clever scan caching.  MH users know that scan is slow, so
+    exmh tries hard to cache the current state of the folder to
+    avoid scanning.  Moves and deletes within exmh do not
+    invalidate the cache, and background incs that add new messages
+    are handled by merging them into the scan listing.  The
+    scan cache is compatible with xmh.
+
+    Facesaver bitmap display.  If you have a facesaver database
+    on your system, exmh displays the bitmap face of the person
+    that sent the current message (or their organization).
+    Otherwise, it just displays a boring EXMH logo.
+
+    Background inc.  You can set exmh to run inc periodically,
+    or just to periodically count up the messages in your mail spool file.
+    (Depends on proper TK send functioning.  See notes below.)
+
+    Various inc styles.  Exmh knows about three styles of inc usage:
+    Inc from your spool file to your inbox folder.
+    Inc from your spool file or POP host to a set of dropboxes as specified
+    by your ~/.xmhcheck file.
+    Inc from your spool file directly into folders.  Exmh can run the MH
+    filtering program (slocal) for you, or you can let an external agent
+    presort mail into folders for you.
+
+    Searching over folder listing and message body.
+
+    A dialog-box interface to MH pick.
+
+    A simple editor with emacs-like bindings is provided by default.
+    It has an interface that lets you tweak key bindings.
+
+    Editor interface.  You can hook up exmh to TCL based-editors
+    like mxedit quite easily.  A script is also provided, exmh-async,
+    for using terminal based editors like vi.  The emacsclient.README
+    file has hand-wavy instructions for using emacsclient to talk
+    to an emacs server.
+
+    Glimpse interface.  You can index all your mail with glimpse
+    and search for messages by content.  The search works across
+    all folders and runs quite fast. The indexes are only about 10%
+    of the space of your mail database.
+
+    User preferences.  You can tune exmh through a dialog box.  The settings
+    are saved in an Xresource-style file named .exmh-defaults.  You can
+    also put font and color resource specifications in this file, plus
+    there are a few random parameters not exposed via preferences.
+
+    User hacking support.  A user library of TCL routines is supported.
+    The main implementation is chopped up into many smallish modules.
+    So, you can modify a copy of some module to put your favorite mail
+    reader hack in without affecting others (or convincing me to put
+    it into the main line).  There are also a number of places where
+    hook procedures are used so you can refine the behavior of things
+    like composing a reply message.  Details in the man page.
