  You're not alone in that. I am part of a group which installed and is
enhancing a corporate email gateway system, between corporate DECnet,
local ethernet, internet, usenet, bitnet, QuickComm, etc. We also route
for FIDOnet and Compu$erve via gateways. I a recent user survey on
services provided, email was rated as "important to productivity" or
"very important to productivity" by more respondents than any other
service we provide.
