Hello,  everyone,

I am at a point to switch from /usr/ucb/mail to another "better" mail. Our
system has both elm and mh installed and only a few people are using either
of them.  Before I embrace one of the two mailers,  can you experts out
there give me some evaluations about elm and mh ? I like to hear both pros
and cons about the two mailers.  To minimize the bandwidth, please reply by
e-mail. And I'll post a summary if there is enough interest.

In your evaluation, please pay attention to the following aspects:

	0. philosophy
	1. easiness to use( Xmh, Xelm ?)
	2. flexibility( formating the mail ). 
	   interaction with other unix tool
	3. mail filtering( slocal, filter)
	4. which one are you using ? Why ?
	5. other ...

Thanks for your attention.
