Thanks so much, Ken. My first priority is to still be able to read mail and navigate through my folders, use Pick, etc., so I hoped a simple install would not even need nmh. But if I can simply brew install it, great.
My Mac with Monterey 12 already had tcl-Tk, but you are correct. Just running exmh.install gave a weird window and did not respond to button presses except to flicker madly. > > >I have used Mac Mail on my Mac, but have a huge (112364 messages in > >1450 folders) MH archive on a linux box (that I am sending this message > >from).
