- Support for session encryption via SASL (with SASL mechanisms that support encryption) or TLS for the SMTP MTA.
- inc can now incorporate mail from Maildir dropboxes.
- The SMTP server and port can be selected from either the send command line or the user's mh_profile.
- All networking code (with the exception of the internal ftp client) has be updated to support modern network APIs and now supports IPv6.
- New commands new, fnext, fprev, and unseen.
Please report problems in the bug tracker on savannah, or on the nmh-workers mailing list. Thanks!

nmh (new MH) is a powerful electronic mail handling system. It was originally based on version 6.8.3 of the MH message system developed by the RAND Corporation and the University of California. It is intended to be a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.
nmh consists of a collection of fairly simple single-purpose programs to send, receive, save, retrieve, and manipulate e-mail messages. Since nmh is a suite rather than a single monolithic program, you may freely intersperse nmh commands with other commands at your shell prompt, or write custom scripts which use these commands in flexible ways.
NOTE: All versions of nmh prior to 1.0.3 (as well as MH) contained a vulnerability where incoming mail messages with carefully designed MIME headers could cause the mhshow command to execute arbitrary shell code. Though the authors of nmh are not aware of any exploits of this hole, MH users and users of older versions of nmh are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the current version.

- A lot of other compatible tools are listed in section 01.05 ("other MH software") of the MH FAQ
- Jerry Peek's Book "MH & nmh"
- The MH FAQ
- RFCs of varying degrees of relevance.
- The old website, previously located at www.math.gatech.edu.
