  I've been working on a MIME object for the NeXT.  My use for it is to
have MIME type files in the NeXT gopher client.  However, I've also used it
to make a MIME file editor and it could be used for a mail app.
My version looks essentially like a NeXTmail body - allows fonts, imbedded
images, etc.  I need to do some more work, but I will be releasing it
in source form, so someone could write a mail app using it.
  I also recently got funding from Apple to port this to the Mac, so I'll
have a Gopher client for the Mac that's capable of reading MIME type files
as well.  The guy helping me write this may do a mail app for the Mac if
he has time.  This probably won't be available in source tho.
