Hello,
The short answer is that I'm not inclined to upgrade it, but if you
argue persuasively, you could change my mind. Does a modern version of
exmh have a feature you want to use?
The last time I looked at exmh was around version number 2.4, and I was
not impressed with it or with email messages on the developer mailing
list describing features and bugs present in exmh 2.5. The major
improvement was syntax highlightning, and I judged that the cost of the
bugs was not worth the minor gain of highlightning.
I see from the project web pages that v2.5 never made it to a public
release, and that the most recent exmh has been out and stable for a
year now at version 2.6.3. Maybe it wouldn't hurt too badly to upgrade.
