I knew already that Sylpheed/Claws Mail used the MH system, as they are
sitting on top of it. But now I was bit suprised to hear that they are just
a GUI, because I thought of them as much more than a GUI. Just out of
curiosity: do Sylpheed/Claw Mail use the original MH programs as backend, or
did they write their own implementation of MH?

I used Sylpheed briefly years ago, and I was under the impression that
is was the later.  It recognized MH folders, but it did not leverage the
underlying commands for it.  Maybe things have changed since then.

IIRC, I used Sylpheed at the time to deal with encrypted and signed
mail, something MH/nmh does not support directly.
