epg 408b72a273 - Update from 1.0.4 (Apr 2000) to 1.3 (Jun 2008) (whew!).
- many bug fixes
  - MM_CHARSET no longer needed; now uses iconv to decode RFC2047-encoded
    headers and convert to current locale.
  - various MIME improvements

- Take maintainership (ok'd by kim@).

- Replace DESCR with text from web site.

- Support user-destdir.

- Use --with-hash-backup instead of hacking config.h post-configure.

- Drop IRIX-specific part of fmt_scan.c patch-cd, and therefore drop patch-ck
  and IRIX bits in Makefile.

- A tmac.h conf file (wtf?) is no longer installed.

- Update what's installed to share/doc/nmh.

- Update PLIST for added/removed/renamed files.

- Patches:
  - Update patch-ca and patch-cd.

  - Remove errno patches, upstream since XXX: patch-aa, patch-ab, patch-ad,
    patch-ae, patch-ag, patch-ah, patch-ai, patch-aj, patch-ak, patch-al,
    patch-am, patch-an patch-ao, patch-ap, patch-aq, patch-ar, patch-as,
    patch-at, patch-au, patch-av, patch-aw, patch-ax, patch-az, patch-ba,
    patch-bb, patch-bc, patch-bd, patch-be, patch-bf, patch-bg, patch-bh,
    patch-bi

  - patch-aa also had a patch for some fgetstr problem on NetBSD which no
    longer seems to happen.

  - Remove patch-cb; GCOS_HACK is referenced nowhere in nmh code (only
    apparently outdated docs) or in any other pkgsrc patch; HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H
    is already elsewhere in config.h, and sys/param.h is included in nmh.h.

  - Remove patch-ce (http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?1393 fixed in
    uip/sortm.c r1.7).

  - Remove patch-ci (fixed in uip/show.c r1.6).

  - Remove patch-cj; $(etcdir)/tmac.h is gone and the folders/flists problems
    were fixed (differently) in 2000.

  - Remove patch-ck (CPPFLAGS support for the IRIX-specific part of patch-cd.

nmh (new MH) is a powerful electronic mail handling system. It was
originally based on version 6.8.3 of the MH message system developed by
the RAND Corporation and the University of California. It is intended
to be a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.
nmh consists of a collection of fairly simple single-purpose programs
to send, receive, save, retrieve, and manipulate e-mail messages. Since
nmh is a suite rather than a single monolithic program, you may freely
intersperse nmh commands with other commands at your shell prompt,
or write custom scripts which use these commands in flexible ways.
