Hi - a couple of questions:

I really want to run xmh but am having trouble building the mh-6.8.3
mh package under Slackware 1.2.1. Its not very happy being compiled
with GNU make or cc. Does anyone know how to build this package under
GNU?

Failing that I downloaded xmail but it doesn't have instructions to
run. Is there a man page around for xmail?

Thanks

Personally, I don't like the mh paradigm, so I don't run it. Can't help
you with the build problem. However, you might want to take a look at exmh,
written by Brent Welch. It's a tcl/tk-based, mime-aware front-end to mh,
that's supposedly pretty damned decent.

xmail comes with a man page. Did you do a "make install
install.man"?
