RE: Aging Dependencies?

exmh started in 1993, so Tom Lane's use dates back to the beginning.  It started with a 1200 line Tcl script
that I got from Ed Oskiewicz because I wanted to figure out how to use MH, and because Tk had just come out I was
building lots of different user interfaces.  Finally, an X11 toolkit that was delightful to use.

I started with exmh back in 1994. I could not find a good MUA under
Unis and a co-worker recommended exmh. Been using it ever since, but I
would love to see nmh grow IMAP support. Still, it's the best mail
tool I have worked with and I am looking forward to a new release.

If there is a new release, I'll try to find time to do a new FreeBSD
port as the long-time maintainer had to switch to a different MUA as
IMAP became a requirement.

It is disturbing, though not surprising that everyone who who has
posted has been using exmh for over a decade.
