RMAIL comes with the distribution, but VM is closer the standard mail(1)
you're probably using now.  And VM doesn't convert your mail into a
format that's unreadable by that same mail(1) program, as RMAIL does,
should you decide that you don't like it.

The current version of VM is 4.41, and it's available via anonymous FTP
from xanth.cs.odu.edu, directory pub/vm, file vm-4.41.tar.Z.
