I recently posted a message to the mh and few X releated groups about
MIME and xmh -- but I did not get much response -- I did not know this
group existed then -- May be  comp.mail.multi-media will prove
more fruitful.

My question is: Is anyone working on a fully MIME compatible version
of xmh. The idea being that xmh would interpret a MIME message and
display the body parts as icons which when hit with the mouse button
would play the audio or display a image. Certain body parts (eg
richtext or gifs?) could be actually show in xmh itself by usings
a different widget or something. A grander solution might be to
invent a multi-media widget.

I have been told that the next version of mh (not xmh) will be MIME
compatable (but I don't know what that means - maybe just the fix
to call metamail ?). I also know that quite abit of work is being
done at MIT to incorperate multi-media into X.

Can anybody fill me in on plans/work in progress. If nothing is 
happening, I'm think of doing it myself.

Please mail me or this newsgroup if of general interest since I shall be
reading it from on.

BTW If this is a FAQ I beg your forgiveness.
