Yep, looks like it comes with RH 5.2 (which I'm running at home),
based on the following page at rpmfind.net:


http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/5.2/i386/exmh-2.0.2-4.noarch.html

The exmh website shows a couple screenshots, but says they're
from version 1.6, from March 1995.  Has the interface changed
much over the years?  One particular feature I'd like to keep
from Communicator is the automatic linking of URL's embedded in
email messages.  Does exmh2 support this?

I guess I can try it out when I get home, though.

Thanks,
John
