    Folks,

    The last time the FAQ was updated was on or around 2001.07.22:

    http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/mh-faq/part1/preamble.html
    http://www.cs.ruu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/mail/mh-faq/part1.html

    This article is posted bi-weekly and contains a summary of recent
    changes, the table of contents, and instructions for obtaining the
    FAQ at the bottom.


    2001.07.22

    Thanks to the bottom-feeding, address harvesting spam scum, I've
    removed the mailto links and replaced @s in addresses with the MHy
    "at" in an attempt to protect the mailboxes of the contributors.
    If this breaks the way you read this FAQ, please let me know
    immediately.

    Since my address is in the header and I won't break RFCs to prevent
    spam, I'll still take the heat. Thanks to spamfilter by Lars
    Wirzenius, Behan Webster, and Brian White, 100 messages are dumped
    or bounced a day so spam remains manageable.

    2001.03.20

    In the past two years a lot has changed. SourceForge was born and
    nmh, exmh, and mh-e all moved their developmental work there in an
    effort to keep MH relevant in the 21st century.

    General changes to this version include a phasing in of nmh commands
    and files. Rather than say `mtstailor,' the FAQ now says, `mts.conf
    (mtstailor).' Also, the ftp and mail alternatives for obtaining
    files have been removed leaving only http sources. Even my mom uses
    the Web now.

    URLs and examples are all now consistently indented four spaces
    (instead of 0, 2, or 4 spaces, or a tab). If this excites you, send
    me mail. Here are the specific additions, deletions, and changes:

    23 November 1997

    What's new this year? John Romine nearly released a new version of
    MH with some bug fixes. A version of 6.8.4 is floating around, but
    it is not "official." In the meantime, Richard Coleman came up with
    a new version that fixes a lot of bugs and usability problems and
    uses GNU autoconf; this is something that MH sorely needed.

    nmh has changed the name of a couple of files: mtstailor is now
    mts.conf, mhn_defaults is now mhn.defaults. These changes are noted
    wherever these files are referenced.

    Since Stephan Gildea <gildea at stop.mail-abuse.org> left the X Consortium,
    mh-e has been rehomed down at UCI and exmh followed Brent Welch
    <welch at sunlabs.sun.com> over to Sun. Paul Pomes
    <ppomes at Qualcomm.com> is now at Qualcomm. Kent Landfield has given
    his excellent FAQ site a domain: www.faqs.org.

    19 November 1996

    What's cool this month is that cross-references to the MH book are
    now also hot-links to the on-line book. See for yourself at
    http://www.faqs.org/faqs/mail/mh-faq/part1/preamble.html.
    You'll notice that I now reference Kent Landfield's new promising
    site (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/) since the Ohio State site was

    9 September 1996

    Notable additions are the MH Web site (http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/),
    the on-line MH book (http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/), and the
    MH patch area (http://www.gw.com/mail/mh/patches/).

    Main headings now have a trailing .00 which should help Subject
    sorts in nn and other newsreaders. Addresses are now preceeded by
    "mailto" when appropriate and other references have been converted
    to URL format as well. Dates now have 4-digit years in preparation
    for the millenium.

    As many patches as possible have been removed from FAQ and are now
    referenced via an URL to the MH patch site.

    27 November 1995

    Rather than place the date in square brackets, questions are now
    dated with "Date" fields. This will allow newsreaders that can sort
    by date (e.g., in nn, ":sort date") to display the newest items
    first. In previous items where actual dates could not be
    ascertained, the date of the first release, 1 Mar 91, was used.

    Because a single question may have several answers, and each answer
    has its own set of headers (Date and From), and because I didn't
    want to replicate the Subject header, the nn newsreader will have
    many empty subject fields in selection mode. While this works for
    "sort arrival," other sorts will display the articles out of
    context. Sorting on date also works because I have a convention of
    placing the most recently modified part first so that it contains
    the Subject field. Your comments are appreciated.

    References to the MH book have been updated for the 3rd Edition.
    References to the Second Edition remain in parenthesis.

    The HTML version of the FAQ has some bogus links. If you notice
    that both the ftp or http anchor and the file size are both
    highlighted, then you'll have to remove the file size from the URL
    manually.

    The FAQ has now broken the 100k barrier. Shall I:

    o leave it alone?
    o break it up into 2 pieces?
    o break it up at section boundaries (e.g., Intro, Building,
    Composing, etc.)?

    3.09 Fixing "cannot fopen and lock /var/spool/mail/(user)".

    13 May 1995

    The big news is that Jerry's 3rd edition of O'Reilly's "MH & xmh"
    book is finally out. This edition has new stuff on MIME, exmh, and
    mh-e. Note that Jerry has not yet updated the cross-references in
    the FAQ to the new edition.

    The mh-e work in the book also encouraged a new release of mh-e
    (V. 5.0) which now includes a Texinfo manual. It will be included
    with GNU Emacs 19.29 but can be obtained separately. See "What
    references exist for MH?" in the FAQ for more info.

    Hopefully, the URLs to files and the FAQ Web page are now correct.

    Question numbers now have leading zeros so that they sort correctly
    (when the FAQ is broken up in nn, for example).

    The archive name did not, in fact, change this time around.

    New Questions

    4.4 How can you save News articles into an MH folder?
    5.11 Can I post secure/encryped mail?
    6.8 Fixing "post: unexpected response; [RPLY] 503 Need MAIL before RCPT"
    6.9 Fixing "post: problem initializing server; [BHST] premature
    end-of-file on socket"
    6.10 Fixing "Sender didn't use the HELO protocol"
    6.11 Fixing "post: problem initializing server; [RPLY] 553 Local
    configuration error, hostname not recognized as local
    8.3 How do I use POP with mh-e?

    Changed Questions

    1.4 ...references... Fixed mhn-tutorial path, updates above.
    1.5 other MH software... New version mh-e.
    7.2 ...from can't read mbox... Clarification.
    1.8 converting to MH? New script to convert folders en masse.

    2.8 ...build MH on Linux? Updated paths!
    5.4 ...include my signature? Improved mh-e code somewhat.
    5.5 call editor with arguments? exec editor; use "$@" instead of $*.
    6.1 Problems... draft removed ditto
    8.1 ...documentation for mh-e? Yes!
    Glossary Added TIS, PEM, PGP and SMTP.


    13 December 1994

    The archive name has been changed yet again. It was mh-faq, then
    mh-faq/part1, and now it's mail/mh-faq/part1. The Keywords header is
    now Son-of-1036 compliant.

    Steps have been made to make it palatable by Thomas Fine's WWW FAQ
    converter (see below for the URL although it might take a few days
    to get there) as well as several denizens of the net. I've placed
    rows of hyphens before each question and added cross references. In
    addition, I've moved the author of the answer to the From header and
    moved the question number into the Subject header field. It's a
    small thing, but I've also moved the pluses (+) and bangs (!) in the
    Table of Contents from the beginning of the line to lie *after* the
    question number so that new and changed questions subjects are
    identical in both the Table of Contents and in the text. This might
    affect software that was trained to look for new or changed
    questions in the Table of Contents.

    If you encounter any difficulties as a result of these changes,
    please let me know. You can also let me know if you like these
    changes! ;-)

    New Questions

    3.7 Why do I get "mhn: don't know how to display content"?
    mhn.c patch 2 (deal with unknown content types)

    Changed Questions

    1.3 Where can I get MH? Updated list. Nuked UUCP info. FAQ archive name 2.7 ... build MH on Solaris 2? Added "unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH".

    7.1 ... mail filters ...? Full description of mailagent
    8.1 ...docs for mh-e? We're getting close!


    7 November 1994

    The mh-faq archive is now a directory that contains part1--the
    FAQ--and contents--this file. Files that are available via
    anonymous ftp are now listed as URLs. Fixed Tom Christiansen's
    address.

    Appendix Copyright Wording fixed


    20 August 1994

    This was a fairly major revamp of the format. It's not HTMLized
    yet, but the first step was taken: it's now broken up into more
    sections which should make it easier to find the answer to your
    question.

    Another new thing is that I'll be posting this list bi-weekly so
    that new and old readers alike will have a Table of Contents readily
    at hand.

    Hope you like it.

    New questions

    3.5 Why doesn't "show" display all of a MIME message?
    4.3 Why do I get ".../.mh_sequences is poorly formatted?"
    5.9 How can I save a copy of all messages I send?
    5.10 Can the folder in Fcc: be dynamically specified?
    6.6 Fixing "post: unexpected response; [BHST] no socket opened"
    6.7 How do I fix the "X-Authentication-Warning" header?
    7.1 What mail filters are available?

    Changed questions

    1.3 Where can I get MH? Removed IP addr; MH tbl & UUCP info
    1.4 What references exist for MH? Please use ftp.uu.net, not ora.com
    1.5 What MH software is available? Added exmh; new mh-e
    2.5 Does MH support IMAP? Not directly, but this might help
