Elm Millennium Edition
Elm Millennium Edition is a text-based mail client. There are two branches: Elm 2.4ME+, which is based on Elm 2.4, and Elm ME+ 2.5, which also incorporates some code from Elm 2.5. Elm Millennium Edition contains enhanced MIME and character set support. A subset of UTF-8 (Unicode) is handled. It can read mail from a local mbox and POP and IMAP folders and can pass mail to the PGP or GPG programs. It can also view digests as a mailbox and reassemble fragmented (message/partial) messages. It includes modules for TLS/SSL, iconv, and SMTP.

Elm ME+ 2.5 PLalpha35: That change log is (edited to be) misleading:
| "page as text" to the b)uiltin pager,
Added command is: page as text on b)uiltin pager
That command is added to the Attachment Menu and to the MIME structure Menu.

Re: Don't even bother with elm 2.5.6
%% yes - thank you for looking after ELM
> Nice to hear that someone is using
Well, I have been using elm at least since (I looked from my old mail folders, and found mail dated Mon, 7 Nov 1994 17:21:38 +0200 (EET) that was send with ELM 2.4 PL23).
And after that, I've been using elm :) ... And I've been verry verry happy with it. So PLEASE, keep it up ;) ... I could even try help you if there is something I could do.

Changed spelling of "Millenium" to "Millennium".
In my English to Finnish dictionary there is a word
"millenium". And there is no word "millennium" in
the dictionary. But apparently my dictionary is wrong.
