In this tutorial we learn how to install nmh on Fedora 34.
What is nmh
nmh is a collection of single-purpose programs that send, receive, show, search, and otherwise manipulate emails, including MIME. They combine well with other Unix programs, easing the development of custom shorthand commands as shell scripts. Optional GUI interfaces are provided by the external xmh and exmh projects. nmh is a descendant of the RAND MH, Mail Handler, project.
