I had avoided answering the original question on whether MH handled aliasing,
since someone redirected it to a more knowlegeable person.

> MH is also a "user agent"; I don't know if it ever acts as a "deliverer".

The original Rand versions of MH (ca. MH 4.1) included a program called
"deliver" which did support aliasing.  I think this was what the original
poster was referring to.  Later Rand versions improved the aliasing
considerably.  We don't have the UCI version at present, so I don't know
about it.

> MH may run on non-4.2BSD systems ...

It currently runs (MH 4.1) on this system, which is certainly non-4.2BSD
(this is presently an Edition 7 system), as well as running MH 4.2 (with
some difficulty in porting) on another of PE's Edition 7 machines.

> MMDF may also run on non-4.2BSD systems ...

MMDF also runs on this same version of Edition 7; e.g., Vanderbilt University
runs it on a 3220.
