can anybody please tell me how to do this
i know that if the to line has an address xyz%foo::bar
then mail calls xyz_mailshr.exe
likewise if you run mail as mail/protocol=xyz
what does that program do?
where does it read it's input and write it's output?
in what format?
we have the vms colour book software
they stuff mail into a vms mailbox, but not using mail
to send it you have to use another program
this is all very hacky
i would like to integrate it fully into vms mail
all help would be gratefully recv'd
