The X Consortium supports a client called xmh that provides an X interface
to the Rand Mail Handling utilities (MH).  This client is part of the Core MIT
X distribution in both X11R3 and X11R4.  The source code can be found in the
directory ``clients/xmh''.  Here is a breif exerpt from the Xmh manual page.

NAME
     xmh - X interface to the MH message handling system

DESCRIPTION
     The xmh program provides a window-oriented user interface to
     the  Rand MH Message Handling System.  To actually do things
     with your mail, it makes calls to  the  MH  package.   Elec-
     tronic  mail  messages  may  be  composed,  sent,  received,
     replied to, forwarded, sorted, and stored in folders.
