For those who don't have a real mail system, here's what our company 
uses. We send appletalk messages using Joachim Lindenberg's Broadcast 
(v1.2) rdev to let people know that a particular file is in whoever's 
Public Folder. 

The concept is the same, except that the "mail" program is really 
low-cost.
