wait, what?  Pretty much all releases of exmh were buggy under tcl8.5:

cvs repository 08/26/2010 [email protected]
  Finally found the cause of the exmh Log window breaking - we
  carry our own lassign that had the parameters in opposite order
  to what base 8.5 code expects, specifically breaking 'clock format'
  and who knows what else. So rename our lassign to exmh_lassign.
  lib/html.tcl, lib/html_formtag.tcl, lib/html_get_http.tcl,
  lib/html_links.tcl lib/msgShow.tcl, lib/utils.tcl

(Yes, it's an ugly fix, but the only realistic choice unless we insist on tcl
8.5 or later.  You want tcl 8.4 to work too, have to do it this way).

What "troubles" were you seeing? This sounds suspiciously like
untarring a 2.8 tarball over a 2.7.2 tree and failing to regenerate
the tclIndex file, which will result in it failing to find exmh_lassign and
throwing an error....
