 Does anyone have more information about a semi-undocumented MAIL
 syntax that allows the specification of a protocol and an
 address to the `To:' prompt, i.e.
                     To: protocol%address
 where address is the usual username or wherever and protocol tells
 MAIL to fire up a process
	             [syslib]protocol_mailshr.exe   ???
 This was suggested as a possible solution to warehousing mail messages 
 waiting for asynchronous transmission to another VAX. My thanks to John 
 Klensin for the initial tip. 

 Thanks in advance ...  Len Schwer
