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.

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). 2001-01-22 20:06:10 +00:00			`exmh is a TCL/TK based interface to the MH mail system. It provides`

Update exmh-2.0gamma to 2.0delta. There's lots of bug fixes, as well as things like koi8-r recognition, background news (nntp) processing, ispell support. Note that there's a horrible hack here to work around a weakness in bsd.port.mk. The distributed patches are relative to a subdir of ${WRKSRC} and bsd.port.mk doesn't seem to allow clean overriding of that to patch. I appended a second "-d dir" arg to PATCH_DIST_ARGS after the .include that set up the string with +=. patch seems to use the last instance of "-d dir" when there are several online (it's a simple parse-time chdir).

Upgrade to v2.2, and hand the reigns over to Bruce Mah, who is also an Exmh developer. Thanks Bruce! 2000-10-11 15:58:08 +00:00
