[nmh-workers] The State of exmh.

[Ralph Corderoy]

Hi,

Where does one go for exmh these days?  Google's top hit is
http://exmh.sourceforge.net/ and that says the current web site is
http://www.beedub.com/exmh/.  There, `2.7.2 released January 7, 2004'
headlines and the tar file is beside it.

But Debian ships 2.8.0 on its stable version and in
https://sources.debian.org/src/exmh/1:2.8.0-7/debian/control/ says
`Homepage: http://www.exmh.org/', but that's a re-direct to
http://beedub.com where I can reach the `current web site' mentioned
above.

I considered poking around
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/exmh-users for signs of life,
but those archives are subscriber only.  I found a probable public copy
at https://marc.info/?l=exmh-users&r=1&w=2 and see valdis is active.

The 2.7.2 I found suggests running a wish script to install.  That
doesn't appeal without reading through and understanding it first.  :-)
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.

Advice welcome.
