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. - + MIME support!

You can set exmh to run inc periodically. 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. - + A editor editor with emacs-like bindings with MIME support. 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. - + and search for messages by content. + User preferences. You can tune exmh through a dialog box. 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. - |
