We are planning to develop a new, all-singing, all-dancing mail system.
This will run over a mixture of IP and Novell networks, interactive and
batched dial-up links,  It will integrate DOS and Unix workstations, as
well as Windoze and OS/2, etc.  It will have gateways to SMTP, MHS, fax
and anything else that we can think of (maybe even X.400).

We have had a few discussions internally about the features that we would
like, and have come up with a whole lot.  However, if there is anyone who
has a specially favourite mailer feature (apart from prescience), we would
like to know about it, so that we can consider it.

Although this is intended for internal use, to replace the current hodge-
podge of mailers on campus, I hope to be able to release the entire
catastrophe to the net at large once it is complete.

Any replies in any form whatsoever will be appreciated.
