> DESIRABLE SERVER FEATURES
> [A thoughtful, but lengthy description of useful server features]

Almost everything you desire is possible if your gateway machine is running
Sendmail.  Of course this presupposes your gateway is running under UNIX.
You *could* do this with A/UX on a Mac, if you don't want to invest in
some other UNIX box now.  In fact, UMinn's gateway is a Mac II running
A/UX (Dave Johnson will correct me if I'm wrong :-)).

In your list of known POP3 clients, you omitted MIT's TechMail.  It is
a very well executed Mac application (as opposed to a Hypercard stack).
It is PD and sources will be available with V2 due sometime this fall.
You can get it via anonymous ftp to net-dist.mit.edu in /pub/TechMail.

I've been using TechMail here at Qualcomm without any major snafus.

Cheers,
