I'm looking for a replacement for our rmail program that understands Internet
addressing.  I currently have a 3b2 with completely standard System V.2.0.4,
with HoneyDanber uucp and an rmail that chokes on "@".  I know that in the
past several mail programs of various sorts have been posted.  Do any of these
fit the bill?  Most of all, have any plain System V sites managed to
implement Internet addressing?

Another issue is the mail reading program for users.  I think that mailx can
handle reading Internet mail, but the documentation is very vague and obviously
AT&T didn't intend that anyone would ever use it.  Best of all would probably
be an rmail that could handle internet addresses, but could either write
to the /usr/mail mailboxes with the System V format, or could call another
program to deliver mail to local mailboxes.
