DEC are currently enhancing mail functionality, in general, on VMS ..BUT..
 the enhancements are appearing as additional layered products e.g.
 ALL-IN-1, VAXnotes, DECMAIL, X400,etc.
I'd like to see funtionality in the standard VMS mail which enables me to
 manipulate, AND READ, many mail messages a day - when my main function isn't
 to read mail. I currently receive so much mail that I often have to
 simply read and DELETE/PRINT messages rather than figure out which folder
 to put them in and then place them there.
I'd like the ability to file mail according to keywords in the subject or
 'from' fields BEFORE reading as well as after reading. I'd also like to be
 able to 'mark' mail for reading later.  The ability to redefine the layout
 of the mail DIR output would also be useful to allow for longer 'from'
 fields and subject fields,etc.
It might be too much to expect standard VMS mail to at least support the
 basic features of network mail ( X400? ) i.e. to recognise the standard
 formats of network mail fields - perhaps that's asking for too much?
