-originally based on the package MH-6.8.3, and is intended to be
-a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.
+nmh (new MH) is an electronic mail handling system. It was originally
+based on the package MH-6.8.3, and is intended to be a (mostly)
+compatible drop-in replacement for MH.
-nmh is currently in BETA testing/development. It seems to be
-generally stable, but things may break from release to release
-as changes are made.
+nmh consists of a collection of fairly simple single-purpose programs
+to send, receive, save, retrieve, and manipulate e-mail messages. Since
+nmh is not a single comprehensive program, you may freely intersperse
+nmh commands with other shells commands, or write custom scripts which
+utilize these commands in flexible ways.
