I will be honest: I don`t like, or even use the MH package, in fact I don`t consider it an application by itself. The main reason I proposed it included is that it is a nonsense to install xmh to find out it won`t run unless you add the mh package. It should be an OPTION, right from the start. Even more, it is documented in the original BSD manuals. There is a filosofical problem involved, what kind of system should FreeBSD be? A system that runs by default all the traditional UNIX (including MH), or a linuxed version of that old UNIX. (Don`t feel offended, I like Linux, and it definitely is an example to be followed). The answer, very probably is something in between, but the controversy over the inclusion of MH must be left open. regards, Pedro.
