mh-e: Getting MH-E

 
 C.4 Getting MH-E
 ================
 
 Because MH-E is undergoing a phase of sustained growth, the version of
 MH-E in your Emacs is likely to be out of date although it is most
 likely to be more up to date than the copy that comes with the MH
 distribution in ‘miscellany/mh-e’.
 
    New MH-E releases are always available for downloading at SourceForge
 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mh-e/files/) before they appear in an
 Emacs release.  You can read the release notes on that page to determine
 if the given release of MH-E is already installed in your version of
 Emacs.  You can also read the change log to see if you are interested in
 what the given release of MH-E has to offer (although we have no doubt
 that you will be extremely interested in all new releases).
 
    If you use Debian, you can install the Debian mh-e package
 (http://packages.debian.org/unstable/mail/mh-e) instead.
 
    After you download and extract the MH-E tarball, read the ‘README’
 file and ‘MH-E-NEWS’.  These correspond to the release notes and change
 log mentioned above.  The file ‘README’ contains instructions on
 installing MH-E.  If you’re already running Emacs, please quit that
 session and start again to load in the new MH-E.  Check that you’re
 running the new version with the command ‘M-x mh-version’.
 
    In addition to the mh-e package, the SourceForge
 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/mh-e/files/) site also contains doc
 and contrib packages.  The former is the latest release of this manual,
 and the latter contains a few contributed packages you might find
 useful.
