Has anyone else had trouble with large mail messages under the VMS V4
mail program?  It seems that if you mail a large file, it refuses to
read or extract it, saying that a 29,xxx byte record is too large for
its buffer, or somesuch.  Several of the arpanet digests frequently fall
into this category.

Are there any alternatives?  I would dearly love to hear of a mail program
that runs under VMS V4, that has decently documented network hooks, and
that is RFC 822 compatible.  I would love it even more if it didn't cost
anything, but I'll try to wring some bucks out for anything that fits
the first three requirements.

Anybody???
