But now it's beta, as this note brom Brent Welch states:
I have posted exmh-2.0beta.tar.Z to
ftp.sunlabs.com:/pub/tcl/exmh
This releases fixes numerous minor bugs in the 2.0 alpha release.
(Please upgrade your alpha installations so my bug report volume goes
down...)
Notable new features include:
Built-in editor uses old word-wrapping by default, but you can
enable new "hard line breaking" if you want.
text/html can be displayed directly in the message display area,
and you can use the built-in HTML viewer as the way to
display selected URLs
News posting facility that uses built-in Tcl sockets.
More features to the folder cache.
Ability to fetch PGP keys from the www interface.
Exmh 2.* requires Tk 4.1 or higher, and the beta releases of
Tk 4.1 will not work, either.
Exmh 2.* is known to work with the latest Tk, 8.0a1
