***> I was looking through the source code (all written in C) for VMS NEWS.
***> In this code, I found functions called mail$whateever which appeared to
***> be a callable mail interface. Does anyone know anything about this
***> interface? Is it documented? I haven't been able to find any
***> information on it.
Although the manual which contains the MAIL$ routines was mentioned a
few times in the VMS 5 doc set, the manual was never released. An
unofficial/undocumented/uneverything guide to using Callable Mail can be
found in the anonymous FTP account on node DFTSRV.GSFC.NASA.GOV
(128.183.10.134) in subdirectory "vms".
