+This file lists the most important differences between mmh and nmh.
+This list is not complete and will never be; it shall give just a
+quick overview on what kind of changes have been made.
+
+Version mmh-0.1 and nmh-1.3-dev (as of 2011-04-13) are compared.
+
+References are made to docs/schnalke-mmh.pdf. Explanations are to be
+found there. For a detailed list of changes see the VCS changelog.
+To find out how to use the mmh tools, have a look at the man pages.
+
+
+General
+-------
+*) All network transfer facilities have been removed. There is no MTS
+   (SMTP client) anymore and no POP client. An MSA/MTA is required to
+   send mail. An MRA is required to retrieve mail via POP/IMAP. (Sec.
+   2.1.1)
+*) ~/.mh_profile was moved to ~/.mmh/profile. All configuration files
+   in the mail storage location (~/Mail) were moved to ~/.mmh. The
+   environment variables to change these locations were renamed.
+   (Sec. 2.3.5)
+*) Many configure options were removed. (Sec. 2.1.4)
+*) A bunch of recent changes in nmh were pulled into mmh.
+*) The man page mmh-intro(7) was added.
+
+Features
+--------
+*) Jon Steinhart's attachment system is made the default and is
+   combined smoothly with automatic MIMEification, as needed. The
+   `mime' command at the WhatNow prompt is therefore no longer needed
+   and thus removed. Use of Mime-Type-Query command (usually file(1))
+   to determine the MIME type of an attachment. No more writing of
+   mhbuild directives, although it is still possible to do so. (Sec.
+   2.2.2)
+*) The draft folder facility is always used. All support for a single
+   draft message is removed. The commands, especially comp(1), were
+   adjusted to this change. (Sec. 2.2.4)
+*) A trash folder facility is added. Backup prefixes are no longer
+   used. (Sec. 2.2.4)
+*) By default, messages are always displayed serially in a single
+   pager session without pausing. Foreign charsets are transcoded
+   automatically (with iconv(1)). (Sec. 2.2.2)
+*) Attachments are stored under their filename, instead of the message
+   number and MIME part number, by default. Tar files are no longer
+   extracted automatically. (Sec. 2.2.2)
+*) scan(1) listings do no longer show body contents.
+*) MMDF maildrop format support is removed. (Sec. 2.2.1) Support for
+   UUCP bang paths is gone, too.
+*) There is no more support for automatic message/external-body
+   retrieval. The internal FTP client was dropped as well.
+*) Removed the internal pager.
+*) There is no more hardcopy terminal support. (Sec. 2.2.1)
+
+Programs
+--------
+*) The old show(1) was dropped and mhshow(1) was renamed to show(1).
+   (2.1.3)
+*) Digital typography is added by including Neil Rickert's scripts:
+   mhsign(1) is invoked automatically by send(1) if the draft message
+   contains `Enc:' or `Sign:' header fields. Up to now, the user needs
+   to run mhpgp(1) manually, still. (Sec. 2.2.3)
+*) conflict, rcvtty, viamail, msgchk, and msh were removed. (Sec. 2.1.2)
+*) Replaced install-mh(1) with the shell script mmh(1).
+*) slocal(1) lost its suppress duplicates feature and mmh thus lost the
+   dependency on dbm.
+*) packf(1) prints to stdout.
+*) Added mmhwrap(1).
+*) whom(1) is rewritten from scratch.
+*) Many command line switches were removed. (Sec. 2.1.5)
+*) anno(1)'s command line switches were structurally reworked. Check
+   the man page for details. (Sec. 2.3.2)
+*) Replaced the command line option `-format foo' with `-form =foo'.
+   (Sec. 2.1.5)
+*) Path notations (with +, @, /, .) can now be used more interchangeable.
+   (Sec. 2.3.2)
+*) All tools read the profile now. (Sec. 2.3.3)
+*) Renamed the -version switch to -Version.
+
+Sequences
+---------
+*) The standard sequences `first', `prev', `cur', `next', `last',
+   `all', `new' were renamed to `f', `p', `c', `n', `l', `a', `b',
+   respectively.
+*) The unseen sequence and the sequence negation are set by default.
+   repl(1) quotes the original message by default and forw(1) uses
+   MIME encapsulation by default. (Sec. 2.2.5)
+
+Code
+----
+*) The indent style was changed -- sorry for that. (Sec. 2.3.1)
+*) Standard library functions have replaced local replacements, when
+   possible. (Sec. 2.3.4)
+*) The programs are more separated now. Instead of sharing source code,
+   the programs invoke each other. (Sec. 2.3.6)
+*) Mmh comprises only about half as much code as nmh-1.3.
