Peter Wemm e78c6755b3 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).

Prompted by: pst (who also sent a partial update)

Plaintext

exmh is a TCL/TK based interface to the MH mail system.
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.
FEATURES: As well as providing the usual layer on top of MH commands, exmh
has a number of 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.
A editor editor with emacs-like bindings with 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.
