It has occurred to me that a fairly simple disconnected virtual machine could direct BITNET mail to a node on the Internet--both mail that goes through the network of MAILERs and mail that doesn't. RSCS would be told to route mail into its reader and it would scan the front of the file for a reasonable header. If there were one, it would use it, otherwise it would build one. It might be made to react to BSMTP & filetypes too, but in its role of taking care of mail that does not go through MAILER, that would be redundant. It also occurred to me that someone must have written this already. And finally it occurred to me that this could easily be a "feature" of MAILER, therefore requiring no separate DVM. Has anyone written such a thing? Does experience reveal any gotchas? John Wobus jmwobus@mailbox.syr.edu Syracuse University
