  We're finally getting serious about Mac-based email.  And because we have
a highly networked environment, networking aspects have a starring role on
our list of priorities; unfortunately, they are a bit hard to gather data
on.

  Here are a few key points:
	1) gateway with (one or more of) SMTP, X.400, VMS Mail
	2) all messages stored on reliable, secure server
	3) messages accessible from multiple platforms, even efter being read
	4) works with Macs, Unix, VMS, MS-DOS, OS/2

  We're very interested on what other people have done to address these
issues.  If you've addressed even one of them, please share your knowledge
and how you feel about the results.

  I _will_ post a summary, and I'm sure this information will be of
interest to a lot of people.
