Bruce A. Mah d1f12ac02d Update exmh to 2.3.1. This release was made primarily to fix a symlink
vulnerability reported to bugtraq.  Mostly a bugfix release although a few
new features (filtering in sedit, optional expect-based inc wrapper,
optional bitmap buttons) have been added.

FreeBSD-specific parts to this commit:  Removed patchfiles that were
imported from the exmh CVS repository as they are now a part of the
exmh-2.3.1 release.  Fixed pkg-descr to quiet a few portlint warnings.
Changed port to use wish-8.3 rather than wish-8.2 (suggested by markm).

exmh is a TCL/TK based interface to the MH mail system. It provides
the usual layer on top of MH commands, as well as many other features:
MIME support! Displays richtext and enriched directly.
Color feedback in the scan listing.
A colour coded folder display with one label per folder.
Smart scan caching. News read/post. koi8-r support.
Facesaver bitmap display. Ispell support.
Background inc. You can set exmh to run inc periodically.
Searching over folder listing and message body.
A dialog-box interface to MH pick.
An editor with emacs-like bindings and MIME support.
Glimpse interface. You can index all your mail with glimpse
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.
IMPORTANT: 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. Generally, this means that
you **MUST** must run xdm to start your Xserver.
