A. Odds and Ends

This appendix covers a few topics that don't fit elsewhere. Here I tell you how to report bugs and how to get on the mh-e mailing list. I also point out some additional sources of information.

A.1 Bug Reports

The current maintainer of mh-e is Bill Wohler <wohler@newt.com>. Bug reports should be filed at SourceForge. Please include the output of M-x mh-version (see section 2.7 Miscellaneous Commands) in any bug report you send.

A.2 mh-e Mailing List

There are actually several mailing lists for mh-e. They are mh-e-users@lists.sourceforge.net, mh-e-announce@lists.sourceforge.net, and mh-e-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. You can subscribe or view the archives at SourceForge. Do not report bugs on these lists; please submit them via SourceForge (see section A.1 Bug Reports).

A.3 MH FAQ

An FAQ appears monthly in the newsgroup `comp.mail.mh'. While very little is there that deals with mh-e specifically, there is an incredible wealth of material about MH itself which you will find useful. The subject of the FAQ is MH Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) with Answers.

The FAQ is available via the World Wide Web (WWW) at faqs.org.

A.4 Getting mh-e

The version of mh-e in the current version of Emacs should be up to date. It is most likely to be more up to date than the copy that comes with the the MH distribution in `miscellany/mh-e'.

New mh-e releases will appear at SourceForge before they appear in an Emacs release. You can read the release notes on that page to determine if the given release of mh-e is already installed in your version of Emacs.

If you go this route, I suggest that you extract the files from `mh-e-m.n.tgz' in the following fashion:

% cd                                  # Start in your home directory
% mkdir lib lib/emacs                 # Create directory for mh-e
% cd lib/emacs
% zcat path/to/mh-e-m.n.tgz | tar xvf -    # Extract files

To use these new files, add the following to `~/.emacs':

(setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name "~/lib/emacs") load-path))

That's it! If you're already running Emacs, please quit that session and start again to load in the new mh-e. Check that you're running the new version with the command M-x mh-version after running any mh-e command. The distribution comes with a file called `MH-E-NEWS' so you can see what's new.
