    [POP2 vs. X.400 Message Store]
    Why fiddle with random hacks when recognized international standards exist?

No problem, just tell me a site from which I can anonymously FTP a working,
freely distributable implementation that runs over TCP/IP.

I'm sorry, you'll have to speak more loudly...

Oh, and since we have to talk to already existing mailers that speak
SMTP/RFC822, I'll need a protocol gateway that at least translates
X.400 to RFC822 (so's I can hand messages off to sendmail).

Hmm... lots of static on this connection.

"Exist" is a relative term sometimes...  Trying POP now doesn't
preclude using X.400 once it's actually available to whoever wants it.
