You'll probably also find some of us on [email protected]
I don't seem to have built a FreeBSD 10.2 partition but can run EXMH 2.8.0 on 
8.4-RELEASE 9.2-RELEASE 9.3-RELEASE 10.1-RELEASE 11.0-CURRENT

Re any patches you are using: Occasionaly I come across someone who
has done ther own port, but doesn't know that FreeBSD has a ports/
structure of skeletons to convert generic neutral distribs to the
specific FreeBSD OS, so please confirm you know of:
	https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/mail/exmh2/
	https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/mail/exmh2/Makefile?view=markup
& have seen
	MAINTAINER?= [email protected]

	More in "Message Display" Lists Print to "Save/Extract Attachments"

Please confirm you know of existence of /usr/ports/ containing 
20,000 sub directories including /usr/ports/mail/exmh2/ which should contain
	./Makefile
	./distinfo
	./files/config.mh
	./files/config.nmh
	./pkg-descr
	./pkg-plist
	./scripts/build
	./scripts/install
