I've not ever used ELM or MH but have looked at them enough to know
their features. And we've done a little bit of work on Mush to run
it under MMDF (so that we can evaluate it) ...
At the moment our problem with it is that
1. It wants to do routing ... That feature can be turned
off, but still it doesn't belong in a User Agent.
2. It doesn't follow RFC822 closely. (I don't know the
details on this, but probably will eventually ...)
(Also, it core-dumped with one message that had a To: line that went
for about 30 lines ... there weren't any syntax errors, but it did go
for a looooong time ... core-dumping isn't a very friendly thing to do).
Other than that it looks like a nice program.
