Folks who are trying to read NeXTmail from home (or who just want to archive
their mail at home) may want to try the MailService app I put on the purdue
archives in February.

MailService provides a service (you know, in the services menu) that will send
any selected text directly to your /usr/spool/mail file so that it will show
up in the NeXT Mail application. This means that you can use kermit or tip in
the Terminal app to connect to wherever you get your mail, read the mail, and
if you want to keep it (or if its NeXTmail and looks like mumbles) you just
select it (including headers) and click on the Send As Message menu item
provided by MailService.

Select and click, that's all.

This program is on the nova.cc.purdue.edu archive (an probably elsewhere)
in the pub/next/2.0-release/binaries/MailService.tar.Z file
with sources included in pub/next/2.0-release/source/MailSerSource.tar.Z

Have fun!
...Eric
