+Mmh is a modified version of the electronic mail handling system nmh.
+Nmh (new MH) itself was originally based on the package MH-6.8.3, and
+was intended to be a (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.
+In contrast, mmh is not inteded to be a drop-in replacement for nmh,
+rather mmh breaks compatibility to nmh in order to modernize and
+simplify it.
+
+Mmh is young and small; nmh is established and matured; MH is ancient.
+
+This distribution uses the term ``nmh'' to describe something common
+to nmh and mmh, in order to give credit. Where mmh differs much from
+nmh, the term ``mmh'' is used to avoid confusing the user.
+Unfortunately, the terms are not used fully consistent.

+Developers
+----------
+Information of interest to mmh developers can be found in the
+README.developers file in the docs subdirectory of this distribution.
+Markus Schnalke's master's thesis explains the existence, shape, and
+focus of mmh. You should read it before working on mmh. If you're
+hacking on the code, you should subscribe to the nmh-workers mailing
+list. To do so, please visit the nmh-workers info page at
+<http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers>. Up to now,
+mmh has no separate mailing list.
