Date: 28 Jul 92 17:53:38 GMT

We use MH with sendmail.  To deliver local mail, sendmail calls
/bin/mail, which does the necessary locking and appends to the
user's mail spool file.  Unfortunately, /bin/mail also has the
anachronistic feature of changing "From " lines to ">From ".

Is there an MH program we could have sendmail use instead of
/bin/mail for local delivery that would not mung our mail?
Any other suggestions?

Seems like you have xmh but not mh. This is from the README for mh:

     1.  If you can FTP to the ARPA Internet, use anonymous FTP
     to ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1] and retrieve the file
     pub/mh/mh-6.7.tar.Z.  This is a tar image after being run
     through the compress program (approximately 1.5MB).  There
     should also be a README file in that directory which tells
     what the current release of MH is, and how to get updates.

     This tar file is also available on louie.udel.edu
     [128.175.1.3] in portal/mh-6.7.tar.Z.  You may also find MH
     on various other hosts; to make sure you get the latest ver-
     sion and don't waste your time re-fixing bugs, it's best to
     get it from either ics.uci.edu or louie.udel.edu.

     2.  You can send $75 US to the address below.  This covers
     the cost of a 6250 BPI 9-track magtape, handling, and ship-
     ping.  In addition, you'll get a laser-printed hard-copy of
     the entire MH documentation set.  Be sure to include your
     USPS address with your check.  Checks must be drawn on U.S.
     funds and should be made payable to:

               Regents of the University of California

     The distribution address is:

               Computing Support Group
               Attn: MH distribution
               Department of Information and Computer Science
               University of California, Irvine
               Irvine, CA  92717

               714/856-7554

     Sadly, if you just want the hard-copies of the documenta-
     tion, you still have to pay the $75.  The tar image has the
     documentation source (the manual is in roff format, but the
     rest are in TeX format).  Postscript formatted versions of
     the TeX papers are available, as are crude tty-conversions
     of those papers.

I hope that this helps.

Yes, yes, I understand all that.  I don't want to use "standard UNIX
mailbox format" with its stupid convention.  And I don't care about
"mail" utilities; MH has more than enough utility for me.

Using slocal is a good idea, but slocal has the same ">From "

Yes, xmh limits the number of digits in a message number to 4.
Yes, this is a bug, and no, we don't have a bug report on file about it.
The silly code is in mit/clients/xmh/tocutil.c around line 612, in the
function TUAppendToc.  Anyone who would like to hack up a solution, run
with it for a while, and send us a bug report on it is more than welcome.
Are there problems with the scan format or elsewhere in xmh when more
than 4 digits are used, or is this code really just random sillyness?

For Motif V1.1.3 (older version of dxmail use Mail instead of dxMail):

dxMail*ScanFormatFile:                  scan.time

Replace scan.time by the one you use.  Some other useful resourses:
(by having tocWidth so large, you can maximize dxmail and then have a good
portion of the mail visible -- nice for mass purgings.  The other have to
do with having a different scan format file).

dxMail*tocwidth:                        180
dxMail*ScanIDCols:                      0-4
dxMail*ScanCurrentCols:                 5-5
dxMail*ScanMoveCols:                    7-18
dxMail*ScanDeleteCols:                  7-18
dxMail*ScanMovedString:                 Moved
dxMail*ScanDeletedString:               Nuked


Where scan.time is:

%5(msg)%<(cur)+%| %>%<{replied}-%|%<{forwarded}F%| %>%>\
%03(month{date}) %02(mday{date}) \

  A few weeks back when I went on vacation, I had to unsubscribe from a
  couple semi-high-volume mailing lists to avoid disk overflows, and I'd
  like to avoid that. Oh yeah, something was messed up with our system's
  "vacation" program and it barfed all over my server. I want to avoid
  using "vacation" again if at all possible. It seems easy to change the

I put this in my .mh_profile:

thanks: -annotate -form thxcomps -inplace -nocc all -whatnow push
push: -alias aliases -forward -push -draftfolder +drafts

push is:

ls -l bin/push
lrwxrwxrwx  1 sechrest       22 Oct 21  1990 bin/push -> /usr/local/bin/mh/send

I have noticed recently that I can also use a -filter mhl.include
and this way I can have one signature file for all of these type
of files, by putting the sig at the end. 

However, I have not converted them all as you see above.

From the app-defaults here is the part that displays a message that you
click with the middle button:

*toc.Translations: #override\n\
        <Btn2Down>:     select-start()\n\
        <Btn2Up>:       select-end(PRIMARY)XmhViewNextMessage()\n\

and here is an example of using XmhShellCommand():

Xmh*commandBox.button10.translations: #override\
        <Btn1Down>,<Btn1Up>: XmhShellCommand(mh.memo.xlate) unset()

where mh.memo.xlate is an executable perl script. I think that what you
need to do is replace XmhViewNextMessage() with XmhShellCommand(emacs).
Then of course you have to take care of every other view command, good
luck.

When you use a standard UNIX mailbox format (in /usr/spool/mail or
in /usr/mail on some System V systems), mail messages are stored
using the convention that each message starts with "From ".
So, each local mail delivery program MUST change existing "From "
lines into something else, unfortunately, to keep it this format.

When using programs to store messages in another way, any mail
utility operating on those mailboxes do NOT work anymore.

BUT: you can use slocal (MH) to call in your personal .forward file.
Then you store incoming mail messages immediately in MH mailbox
format, not passing any local mail delivery tool (and thus also
bypassing the mailbox format with "From ").

I have a DECstation 5000/200 with an LK201 keyboard, running ULTRIX 4.2.
For most purposes, the 'Meta' key is the one labelled "Compose Character"
to the left of the space bar. When this did not do the trick in xmh, I
discovered that the key map needed to be fixed by the following command:

 xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_L = Alt_L Meta_L"


The Meta/Alt key(s) always seems to be the one(s) next to the space bar. All
the machines around here (DECstation, Suns 3&4, HPs various, even Xerox 1186s!)
have the Meta key there even though it is labelled in strange ways.

Owen.

I work in a large network of Sun workstations and to solve the problem
of mail being sent to a workstation that may well be unavailable we
send all mail to an alias that is guaranteed to have a high
availability. In fact it is an alias that moves from time to time.
After trying a couple of methods of getting mh to use the from address
that I wanted I gave up and used a reply-to line in reply and compose
forms. I thought that that solved everything but now I notice that in
the posting process I get the alias eos translated to the main machine
name of eos99. This isn't so important but I wondered if it was
possible to override the translation in any way and also what the
historical reasoning behind the translation was.

Thanks in advance.
