 Unfortunately, the frontends to \s-1MH\s0, which could provide familiar look'n'feel,
 are quite outdated and thus not very appealing, compared to the modern interfaces
 of many monolithic \s-1MUA\s0s.
+One notable exception is \fImh-e\fP which provides an Emacs interface

 \s-1MH\s0 is an \s-1MUA\s0 that follows the Unix Philosophy in its design.
 It consists of a toolchest of small tools, each of them does one job well.
