Where does one go for exmh these days? Google's top hit is http://exmh.sourceforge.net/
and that's the right place for uptodate sources.
and that says the current web site is http://www.beedub.com/exmh/.
i'll get in touch with brent welch about updating that version and link on his site.
I considered poking around https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/exmh-users for signs of life, but those archives are subscriber only.
exmh-workers and exmh-users are very low volume lists, but worth subscribing to.
I found a probable public copy at https://marc.info/?l=exmh-users&r=1&w=2 and see valdis is active.
and so am i (the debian maintainer of both exmh and nmh).
The 2.7.2 I found suggests running a wish script to install. That doesn't appeal without reading through and understanding it first. :-)
that's been the way exmh tunes and adjusts things before installation for decades. it's not awesome.
Debian has a dozen patches to apply, and a semi-hand-crafted /etc/exmh.conf to avoid running the install program. I'm thinking of following its https://sources.debian.org/src/exmh/1:2.8.0-7/debian/rules/ to manually install here on Arch Linux.
the main reason why debian has debian-specific patches is that the debian policy requires particular behaviours wrt. where files may go and so on. some are just patches for things that have been fixed in cvs/git since 2.8.0 went out. regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 2FCCF66BB963BD5F + http://snafu.priv.at/ Happiness is the maximum agreement between reality and desire. -- Joseph Stalin
