How does one define a foreign protocol for VMS MAIL?  All I have been
able to glean from poking around in the manuals and around my JNET/EXOS equipped
Vax is the following:

Mail will pass a file to a foreign protocol handler (e.g. EXOS or JNET) if
the mail is sent to protocol%"ADDRESS".

Protocol has an associated logical with it MAIL$PROTOCOL_protocol.  If you
have a JNET system, you will probably notice a logical called 
MAIL$PROTOCOL_JNET, similar items exist for EXOS.

Where can I learn more ?  There are no references to foreign protocols in
the Mail Utility Reference or the Master Index.
