The exmh Display

[table of contents] [index]
The exmh display is somewhat like the xmh display.
The Figure below has an example.
Figure: exmh display
A folder display at the top has a label for each
of your top-level folders.
In the middle is a table of contents
for the current folder.
The current message is shown at the bottom.
This area is sometimes called the "scan listing" because
it is the output of the
MH scan command.
Both the folder display and table of contents
have some highlights that are described in the Section
Folder Display.
The command buttons are grouped into three sets:
-
The buttons along the top -- such as Help, Preferences, and
Quit -- apply to exmh itself.
-
The buttons above the table of contents -- like
Pick, Inc, and Commit -- are operations on folders.
A menu there labeled More... has other
folder-related operations like Pack and Sort.
-
The row of buttons above the message display -- such as Send,
Next, and Delete -- are for operations on messages.
The More... menu here has other message operations, such as
Print, Edit, Burst Digest, and Edit Message.
The release date and version number of exmh are
displayed next to the top row
of buttons.
The release cycle for exmh goes something like 1.5alpha, 1.5beta,
1.5gamma, ..., 1.5, 1.6alpha, and so on.
The unqualified versions are deemed "stable" enough for naive
users.
Summary information for the current folder appears next to the
folder buttons.
This indicates the current folder and how many messages are in it.
In Figure exmh display, +exmh/users has 6 messages.
Just below the table of contents is a status line that provides some
feedback about what exmh is doing.
When a new message is displayed, the Subject: or
MIME Content-Description: field is displayed there.
Just to the left of
this, the folder and number of the current message are displayed.
To the left of the message buttons, the EXMH logo appears.
This is replaced with the facesaver image of the person, or his/her
organization, who sent the current message.
The Section Faces describes how to set up this feature.
