See my previous article (Re: Internet <--> Compuserve).
Once again, the book is "The Matrix" by John S. Quarterman
(c) 1988, Digital Press.

It focuses more on networks and sending mail through gateways than on the
types of mailers used. If you ask me, it's an RFC822 world. Anything else
is just "uncivilized". :-)
