I cannot read this group but I can still post messages here.  Does anybody
know:
1) If there's any way to prevent being turned to stone by a cockatrice 
once the process has started?
2) Where (what level?) is the Amulet on? 
3) Where do you find the postman?  A "strings" applied to Hack showed me 
that such a thing exists, and so do the messages in the fortune cookies,
but I have never found one.  I even tried sending myself a mail message;
it didn't work. 

Please reply by mail.

Eat an acid blob (dead, of course)

29 or 30, I think.

Sending a mail message to yourself will work, but you must have your
MAIL environment variable set to your mail spool file (e.g. 
/usr/spool/mail/ins_akaa)

When you receive mail while playing hack, the postman will give you 
"a scroll of mail" which, when read, will through you into the Unix(*)
mail program.
