We have all the above here. The people here that use Z-mail are
primarily workstation users, both Suns and X terminals. They
seem to like it a lot, but don't mind too horribly using Elm with
MIME support or Pine from home. The VMS folks stick to Mail-11,
mostly because it's so tied into VMS that it's hard to avoid it.

Sun Observer thinks 'acc' is a neat idea too, so I'm inclined to
think less of their opinion. Zmail's a nice package, but it's not
the be-all/end-all. The Andrew mail system is probably more
mature, and it's free -- and has a fairly usable text-only interface.

The VMS people are pretty much stuck with VMS Mail (or MM if you
have TGV Multinet). Everybody else seems pretty happy with Elm
with MIME mods or Pine, or even RiceMAIL on CMS.
