\lp
The UCI version of the Rand Message Handling System (\MH/) is discussed.
\MH/ is a powerful user agent which operates in the ARPA Internet and UUCP
environments.
In addition to the usual functions provided by similar programs,
\MH/ has several distinguishing characteristics which give the user
additional message handling capability.
In particular,
\MH/ provides mechanisms for maintaining an organized mail environment,
tailoring its behavior,
and extending its functions.

\lp
This document describes \MH/ from several perspectives.
Particular emphasis is given to:
the \MH/ user environment,
advanced features of \MH/ which have proven to be particularly useful for
sophisticated users of electronic mail,
the user interface issues in \MH/,
and the \mh5 distribution.
The paper concludes with a summary of the authors' experiences with \MH/,
and a discussion of future areas of enhancement.
