If not, a combination of QuickMail and Star Nine relay software will do what you would like. I am told that they are in beta test (we requested to be a beta test site but haven't gotten word from Star Nine in the last month). QuickMail works nicely from Mac to Mac. Cayman is working with Microsoft on an Internet interface to MS-Mail, via its GatorBox. I hear that InBox, from TOPS, et. al., seems reluctant to share its interfaces with anybody (you would think that they were controlled by IBM, not Sun!) Does anyone know why? It's a really slick package for Mac-to-Mac. Then, Stanford Mac/IP 3.0 has good old MH, but you need a Post Office server to act as the go between if you want to transfer Mac to Mac. It is not nearly as user friendly as QuickMail, MS-Mail, and InBox, but it is the only thing out there that works today. It's nice to know that some people are big spenders. -Sam
