	MH is a fabulous mail handling system if you get lots of mail.
Having used it, I find other mailers intolerable (elm is particularly
infuriating).  Unfortunately, the developers REALLY want you to run
sendmail as a transport agent.  The documentation claims that MH can run
without it but it doesn't really work.  If only MH could use smail as
a transport agent, things would be much simpler but I haven't heard much
going on along those lines.
	If you are on a BSD machine and you get a lot of mail, try MH.
If you are on a System V machine and you have sendmail, contact me (I
want it BAAAD) and get MH.  If you are stuck with System V and no sendmail,
it might still be worthwhile but it's a lot of headaches.
