I would suggest that you use exmh, a tcl/tk based gui for MH. It is
very user friendly and highly configurable. The latest stable version
in exmh 1.5.3, while the next release 1.6, is in beta testing at the
moment. You can get exmh from lots of sites around the world, so it
shouldn't be much trouble...
As regards MH, it works fine on OSF/1 systems and I didn't have much
difficulty compiling it... The installation documentation is lengthy,
but more than sufficient. There are a lot of configuration options
available. Also OSF/1 V3.0B, the version on our 2100 4/275's, comes
complete with MH pre-installed, though which version exactly I haven't
figured out yet...
If you are interested there is a mailing list for exmh, where you
could perhaps request additional information. The address is:
