   I have received Nextmail at my normal mail address on an IBM
   RS-6000.  Is there any way to make this readable on this 
   system or to read the uuencoded file on a Next after transferring
   the file. 
   I have not found the answer to this one in the FAQ or the Next 
   docs.
   Thanks for your help,

I worked up a little system that lets me read NeXTmail from emacs, using
a combination of procmail, perl, and hyperbole (an emacs hypertext
system). It basically intercepts incoming NeXTmail, unpacks everything,
cleans up the rtf spew in index.rtf replacing attachments with hyperbole
links to the attachments, and puts everything back in the incoming mbox.
It only deals with plain text and rtf attachments, but it wouldn't be
hard to make it deal with tiff files.  No current way to play back sound
files, unfortunately.

Oh, and I also have something that lets me send NeXTmail easily from
emacs. Can only attach files, I'm afraid.

Anyway, if you're interested, send me mail. It would be trivial to
modify it to just unpack NeXTmail if you don't use hyperbole.
