Various Breeds of Mail User Agents...

[taylor at hplabsc.UUCP]

There are lots of strange breeds of mail systems out in the world that run
on Unix systems.  Of those, I know of;

	/bin/mail	The 'first' user interface to the mail system.
	Mail(aka mailx)	The Berkeley rewrite of /bin/mail
	Elm (aka msg)	A public domain mailer w/ screen-oriented interface
	Mh		A public domain mailer with discrete Unix commands
	rmail		A mailer that lives in GNU Emacs and needs MH (?)
	
Of those, I'd like to get more information on rmail from someone.  Also,
I'm SURE there are lots of other mail systems (I know of dmail, uumail and 
nmail too, but I'm not sure they let you READ mail too).

If you use or have access to a mail system that isn't in this small list, 
PLEASE let me know.

Ideally, I'd like to have the following information;

	o the name of the system
	o the system is was created on and now runs on 
	o the author(s) name(s) and organization
	o ** as much documentation as possible **
	o idealy a sample 'usage' session with the system too, in case
	  the documentation doesn't have too much detail...

Thanks a lot.

	I'll post a summary of the information I receive to net.mail in a
month or so...
