In addition to the usual functions provided by similar programs, \MH/ has several distinguishing characteristics which give the user additional message handling capability. In particular, \MH/ provides mechanisms for maintaining an organized mail environment, tailoring its behavior, and extending its functions. \lp This document describes \MH/ from several perspectives. Particular emphasis is given to: the \MH/ user environment, advanced features of \MH/ which have proven to be particularly useful for sophisticated users of electronic mail, the user interface issues in \MH/, and the \mh5 distribution. The paper concludes with a summary of the authors' experiences with \MH/, and a discussion of future areas of enhancement. \par} \input text \input refs \input appendixA \input appendixB \printcontents \unskip\footnote{}{\hskip -\parindent This document (version \versiontag/) was \TeX set \today\ with DISS.STY v\version.} \showsummary \bye
