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

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