I raised that question a week or so ago and received half a dozen answers,
including one "no" and a couple of pointers to UUPC.
UUPC is a somewhat raw implementation of UUCP for personal computers,
originally developed for the IBM-PC but since ported to the Amiga, Atari ST
and the Mac.
Unfortunately, the correspondents who suggested UUPC also said that it
requires the Aztec C shell. Apparently no one has written a point-and-click
interface for it.
Is UUPC an attractive solution? Let me put it this way: I know of a couple of
dozen Usenet sites running on Atari STs and IBM PCs, and not one of them chose
UUPC. :-(
Considering that the Mac has software for Internet and Unix Windows
applications, I'm surprised that no one has put together a good, easy-to-use
UUCP e-mail program, but that seems to be the case.
