Noch nicht, Patch 18-20 ist seit gestern in Beta und wird vermutlich heute
oder morgen gepostet.

Metamail findet man originalst auf thumper.bellcore.com in /pub/nsb, ich
zitiere:

To retrieve the file, use anonymous ftp to the machine thumper.bellcore.com (Internet address 128.96.41.1).  Type "cd pub/nsb".  In that directory, you will find:

1.  mm2.4.tar.Z -- this is a compressed tar file containing the core metamail distribution.  Uncompress it, untar it, and read the top-level "README" file for further instructions.  Strictly speaking, this is the only thing you really need to retrieve.  Note that the "2.4" will change in future releases.

2.  contrib2.4.tar.Z -- another compressed tar file, this one containing lots of useful MIME and metamail-related utilities contributed by metamail users, including software for building multimedia mail-based services, and MIME-related utilities for Emacs, Tk, SGI, Mac, DOS, Amiga, and more.  Note that the "2.4" will change in future releases.

3.  dos2.4.tar.Z -- a DOS binary distribution.  Note that the "2.4" will change in future releases.

4.  amiga2.4.tar -- an Amiga binary distribution.  Note that the "2.4" will change in future releases.
