No, 'cause it's not straightforward using the callable mail interface: the
routine would have to MAIL the item to the reader, then open up the newmail
folder and look for a subject line and sender which matches the arrived posting
of the newsitem, then FILE it into a mail folder, all of which will generate a
reasonable amount of heartache to get it working reliably.
     
Is someone else willing to generate this code?? (asked he hopefully)
