68 The UCI version of the Rand Message Handling System (\MH/) is discussed,
|
|
|
69 including important extensions.
|
|
|
70 \MH/ is a powerful user agent which operates in the ARPA Internet and UUCP
|
|
|
71 environments.
|
|
|
72 In addition to the basic functions provided by a user agent,
|
|
|
73 such as reading and sending mail,
|
|
|
74 \MH/ has several distinguishing characteristics which give the user
|
|
|
75 additional message handling capabilities.
|
|
|
76 In particular,
|
|
|
77 \MH/ provides mechanisms for organizing messages,
|
|
|
78 tailoring its own behavior,
|
|
|
79 and extending its functions.
|
|
|
80
|
|
|
81 \lp
|
|
|
82 This document describes \MH/ from several perspectives.
|
|
|
83 Particular emphasis is given to:
|
|
|
84 the \MH/ user environment,
|
|
|
85 advanced features of \MH/ which have proven to be particularly useful for
|
|
|
86 sophisticated users of electronic mail,
|
|
|
87 \MH/'s potential as a record manager,
|
|
|
88 and
|
|
|
89 \MH/ as a part of a distributed mail environment.
|
|
|
90 Although \MH/ as been widely used since its creation in 1979,
|
|
|
91 a discussion of its perspectives and functionality has not appeared in the
|
|
|
92 open literature.
