First of all, thanks to all of you guys on this mailing list. I am
learning a lot.
I hope you will excuse my many questions.
I was happy to find out, from Ken's last email, that there is yet
another front-end for nmh whose existence I did not know of: MH-V by
Steve Rader. I have just downloaded it.
This new discovery raises the question: how many front-ends are there?
The ones I came across so far (though I have not ried them yet) are:
1) xmh (obsolete, I assume)
2) MH-E
If you're already using Emacs, MH-E is a clear winner :-).
I'd like to point out that I first started using MH-E *before* I used
Emacs as an editor.
A big advantage of MH-E over the GUIs is that it's easier and faster to
read email over the Internet.
3) exmh
4) MH-V
Any other?
Could you please give a brief assesment of each, based on your experience?
Which one would be the best bet for a newbie?
(I gather that most people nowadays use either MH-E or exmh.)
Please share your views. Every bit of info will help, as I also have
to decide whether to (partially) use Claws Mail or to go nmh/mailutils
all the way, with the help of a front-end.
Thanks
Otto
