    I've been looking at mail systems for Appletalked Macs and have been sadly
disappointed with what is currently available, which is as far as I can tell:
    i)  Videx 
   ii)  Top Express
  iii)  InterMail
   iv)  InBox
If anyone knows of other programs, I'd appreciate knowing.

    I'm interested in being able to send multi-media messages, i.e. text with
various fonts, graphics, sound, animation, etc., a kind of cross between
Ready, Set, Go, HyperCard and VideoWorks II (BTW, does anyone know anything
about VideoWorks Interactive, the VW program that is supposed to interface to
HyperCard - is it available, price, etc.) from Mac to Mac over AppleTalk.

    I need to be able to transfer these messages, compressed would be nice, 
unattended or in the background, over one of the university nets like
Usenet or Bitnet.

    I've come across 2 leads & would appreciate any information and a contact:
    i)  A Mac mail program (Stanford) that provides MH functionality using a
        UNIX mail server.
   ii)  MacMessages, a Mac program that integrates with the Andrew Message
        System (CMU).  (If you know about Andrew, could you tell me if there
        is a group like INFO-ANDREW or something where things are discussed -
        I'd sure like to subscribe).

    Thanks.     Shmuel
