mh-e - From Brian Reid
Go to the first, previous, next, last section, table of contents.
One day in 1983 I got the flu and had to stay home from work for three
days with nothing to do. I used that time to write MHE. The
fundamental idea behind MHE was that it was a "puppeteer" driving the MH
programs underneath it. MH had a model that the editor was supposed to
run as a subprocess of the mailer, which seemed to me at the time to be
the tail wagging the dog. So I turned it around and made the editor
drive the MH programs. I made sure that the UCI people (who were
maintaining MH at the time) took in my changes and made them stick.
Today, I still use my own version of MHE because I don't at all like the
way that GNU mh-e works and I've never gotten to be good enough at
hacking Emacs Lisp to make GNU mh-e do what I want. The Gosling-emacs
version of MHE and the GNU Emacs version of mh-e have almost nothing in
common except similar names. They work differently, have different
conceptual models, and have different key bindings. (18)
Brian Reid, June 1994
