66: \lp
67: The UCI version of the Rand Message Handling System (\MH/) is discussed,
68: including important extensions.
69: \MH/ is a powerful user agent which operates in the ARPA Internet and UUCP
70: environments.
71: In addition to the basic functions provided by a user agent,
72: such as reading and sending mail,
73: \MH/ has several distinguishing characteristics which give the user
74: additional message handling capabilities.
75: In particular,
76: \MH/ provides mechanisms for organizing messages,
77: tailoring its own behavior,
78: and extending its functions.
79:
80: \lp
81: This document describes \MH/ from several perspectives.
82: Particular emphasis is given to:
83: the \MH/ user environment,
84: advanced features of \MH/ which have proven to be particularly useful for
85: sophisticated users of electronic mail,
86: \MH/'s potential as a record manager,
87: and
88: \MH/ as a part of a distributed mail environment.
89: Although \MH/ as been widely used since its creation in 1979,
90: a discussion of its perspectives and functionality has not appeared in the
91: open literature.
