- Update from 1.0.4 (Apr 2000) to 1.3 (Jun 2008) (whew!).

  - many bug fixes
  - MM_CHARSET no longer needed; now uses iconv to decode RFC2047-encoded
    headers and convert to current locale.
  - various MIME improvements

- Take maintainership (ok'd by kim@).

- Replace DESCR with text from web site.

- Support user-destdir.

- Use --with-hash-backup instead of hacking config.h post-configure.

- Drop IRIX-specific part of fmt_scan.c patch-cd, and therefore drop patch-ck
  and IRIX bits in Makefile.

- A tmac.h conf file (wtf?) is no longer installed.

- Update what's installed to share/doc/nmh.

- Update PLIST for added/removed/renamed files.

- Patches:
  - Update patch-ca and patch-cd.

  - Remove errno patches, upstream since XXX: patch-aa, patch-ab, patch-ad,
    patch-ae, patch-ag, patch-ah, patch-ai, patch-aj, patch-ak, patch-al,
    patch-am, patch-an patch-ao, patch-ap, patch-aq, patch-ar, patch-as,
    patch-at, patch-au, patch-av, patch-aw, patch-ax, patch-az, patch-ba,
    patch-bb, patch-bc, patch-bd, patch-be, patch-bf, patch-bg, patch-bh,
    patch-bi

  - patch-aa also had a patch for some fgetstr problem on NetBSD which no
    longer seems to happen.

  - Remove patch-cb; GCOS_HACK is referenced nowhere in nmh code (only
    apparently outdated docs) or in any other pkgsrc patch; HAVE_SYS_PARAM_H
    is already elsewhere in config.h, and sys/param.h is included in nmh.h.

  - Remove patch-ce (http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?1393 fixed in
    uip/sortm.c r1.7).

  - Remove patch-ci (fixed in uip/show.c r1.6).

  - Remove patch-cj; $(etcdir)/tmac.h is gone and the folders/flists problems
    were fixed (differently) in 2000.

  - Remove patch-ck (CPPFLAGS support for the IRIX-specific part of patch-cd.

+nmh (new MH) is a powerful electronic mail handling system. It was
+originally based on version 6.8.3 of the MH message system developed by
+the RAND Corporation and the University of California. It is intended
+to be a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.
 
-Although development of nmh is ongoing, it appears to be generally
-stable and is in current use.  But it is possible that I may break
-things as changes are made.

-nmh is currently being developed and maintained by Richard Coleman

-the nmh development mailing list at nmh-workers@math.gatech.edu.
+nmh consists of a collection of fairly simple single-purpose programs
+to send, receive, save, retrieve, and manipulate e-mail messages. Since
+nmh is a suite rather than a single monolithic program, you may freely
+intersperse nmh commands with other commands at your shell prompt,
+or write custom scripts which use these commands in flexible ways.
