In a former life (several years back) at PRC, we were a beta site
for Microsoft's SMTP gateway product.  Someone (who shall remain nameless
to protect family members) decided that the entire company should go 
appletalk on Mac's with microsoft mail as the mail system of choice.

i was working on the commercial side of the house with a product line
that had gone unix in '83.  we laughed at this proposition, realizing
that that which is not unix (for the most part) is DOS (purely number
of units sold, no flames please).  the MSMail products which were finally
released were quite good, and mail translations between SMTP and MSMail
were reasonable.  they even used uuencode for binary inclusions.

drop me a note if you have further questions...
