I read somewhere recently that Word Perfect are working on an SMTP
gateway, but that it was a low-priority project.

An organisation just across the road from here has ordered an MHS <-> SMTP
gateway to allow them to send/receive Internet mail from WP office, but
I dont have any details other than the fact it costs about $US2,000. 
E-mail me direct if you want me to get more info on this.

An alternative would be to scrap WP office, and use David Harris' Pegasus
mail in conjunction with Brad Clement's Charon gateway!!!!
