Mh-rmail

Mh-rmail is a ``front-end'' for MH, the standard Project Athena mail reading system. This section assumes that you are familiar with MH, at least at the level of Essential Mail, as well as familiar enough with GNU Emacs to be able to use multiple buffers.

The advantage of using mh-rmail is that you don't have to wait for an editor to start up (like comp); the editor is there already! And the commands are familiar to most people who are used to MH.

• Starting mh-rmail:
• Commands for reading your mail
  • Reading other messages
  • Deleting and refiling messages
• Sending mail
  • Draft mode commands
  • Other commands
• Variables that can be set.
