Many of you know that a MIME-capable version of MH has been in beta for
some months now.  I am pleased to announce that the beta period has
ended and a new release of MH, including MIME support, is now available.
Below is the release information.

    I'm pleased to announce a new release of the UCI version of
    the RAND MH Message Handling System.  The current release is

	  MH 6.8

    Here are the details:

	- MH is in the public-domain
	- MH runs on a number of versions of UNIX (4.[123]BSD, V7,
	  SYS5, and related variants, e.g., SVR4, HPUX)
	- MH runs on top of a number of mail transport systems
	  (MMDF-{I,II}, SendMail, stand-alone (with UUCP support))

    Although MH is not "supported" per se, it does have a
    bug-reporting address, Bug-MH@ICS.UCI.EDU (ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh).
    Bug reports (and fixes) are welcome, by the way.  There are also
    two Internet discussion groups:  MH-Users@ICS.UCI.EDU and
    MH-Workers@ICS.UCI.EDU.  MH-Users is bi-directionally gatewayed
    to USENET as comp.mail.mh.

CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE

    There are quite a few changes in this release.  Of particular
    note:  MH can now handle multi-media (MIME) messages.  I will
    post the entire MH changes document separately.

HOW TO GET MH

    There are two ways to get the latest release:

    1.  If you can FTP to the ARPA Internet, use anonymous FTP
    to ftp.ics.uci.edu [128.195.1.1] and retrieve the file
    pub/mh/mh-6.8.tar.Z.  This is a tar image after being run
    through the compress program (approximately 1.8MB).  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-6.8.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 ftp.ics.uci.edu or louie.udel.edu.

    The usual FTP mirror sites (uunet, etc.) should have MH 6.8
    available within a few days.

    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:

	   Univeristy of California at Irvine
	   Office of Academic Computing
	   360 Computer Science
	   Irvine, CA  92717  USA

	   +1 714 856 5153

    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.

UPDATES

    The updates from MH 6.7.2 to MH 6.8 are quite large (about
    1.5Mb uncompressed).  I'm still considering how to make them
    available.  More details will follow

CORRESPONDENCE

    As always, please send any bug reports or comments about MH to
    the address "bug-mh@ics.uci.edu" (...ucbvax!ucivax!bug-mh).
