-Nmh is an email system based on the MH email system and is intended to
-be a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH. Nmh isn't a
-single comprehensive program. Instead, it consists of a number of
-fairly simple single-purpose programs for sending, receiving, saving,
-retrieving and otherwise manipulating email messages. You can freely
-intersperse nmh commands with other shell commands or write custom
-scripts which utilize nmh commands. nmh only has a command line
-interface; if you want a more sophisticated user interface, you'll
-want to also install exmh.
+nmh is a collection of single-purpose programs that send, receive,
+show, search, and otherwise manipulate emails, including MIME.
+They combine well with other Unix programs, easing the development
+of custom shorthand commands as shell scripts.
+Optional GUI interfaces are provided by the external xmh and exmh
+projects. nmh is a descendant of the RAND MH, Mail Handler, project.
