| 1648 | 7 XEmacs provides several mail-reading packages. Each one comes with |
| 8 its own manual, which is included in each package. | |
| 0 | 9 |
| 10 The recommended mail-reading package for new users is VM. VM works | |
| 11 with standard Unix-mail-format folders and was designed as a replacement | |
| 12 for the older Rmail. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 XEmacs also provides a sophisticated and comfortable front-end to the | |
| 1648 | 15 MH mail-processing system, called @samp{MH-E}. Unlike in other |
| 0 | 16 mail programs, folders in MH are stored as file-system directories, |
| 17 with each message occupying one (numbered) file. This facilitates | |
| 18 working with mail using shell commands, and many other features of | |
| 19 MH are also designed to integrate well with the shell and with | |
| 1648 | 20 shell scripts. Keep in mind, however, that in order to use MH-E |
| 0 | 21 you must have the MH mail-processing system installed on your |
| 22 computer. | |
| 23 | |
| 1648 | 24 The @dfn{Everything including the kitchen sink} package @samp{Gnus} is |
| 25 also available as an XEmacs package. Gnus also handles Usenet articles | |
| 26 as well as mail. | |
| 27 | |
| 28 @samp{MEW} (Messaging in the Emacs World) is another mail-reading | |
| 29 package available for XEmacs. | |
| 30 | |
| 31 Finally, XEmacs provides the Rmail package. Rmail is (currently) | |
| 32 the only mail reading package distributed with FSF GNU Emacs, and is | |
| 33 powerful in its own right. However, it stores mail folders in a | |
| 34 special format called @samp{Babyl}, that is incompatible with all | |
| 35 other frequently-used mail programs. A utility program is provided | |
| 36 for converting Babyl folders to standard Unix-mail format; however, | |
| 37 unless you already have mail in Babyl-format folders, you should | |
| 38 consider using Gnus, VM, or MH-E instead. |
