The blurb follows: Introducing xmail, the X Window System interface to the mail program. Copyright 1990 by National Semiconductor Corporation Author: Michael C. Wagnitz - National Semiconductor Corporation xmail is my attempt to provide an X11 alternative to the Sun mailtool application, both in the Sunview and XView implementations. Its not as fancy in some ways as the newer XView version of mailtool, and it does not attempt to provide all of the capabilities of mailtool, but does have some features which I found to be practical. For one, it provides built in help information on each of the xmail sub-windows. It also supports the user preferred editor when creating messages, utilizing the value in the user's process or mail EDITOR or VISUAL environment variable, if found. The man page has additional details. --- Tom Fitzgerald Wang Labs fitz@wang.com 1-508-967-5278 Lowell MA, USA ...!uunet!wang!fitz
