In your search for a Mac Mail system, be sure to contact CE Software.  They
have a new product QuickMail which supports many of the features you mentioned
including bundling of files and graphics with mail messages.  Other features
include zone support, real-time conferencing between zones, two way mail
forwarding to/from MCI Mail and Compu$erv.  In a joint venture with StarNine
Technologies Inc. they have developed a QuickMail<->Unix Mail Gateway,
*e-Mail.  StarNine also developed TOPS for A/UX.  I saw the product
demonstrated at MacWorld with a Mac II running A/UX and an SE but
haven't used it personally.  As far as I'm aware it is shipping.
Quickmail and *e-Mail are separate compatible products, purchasing one
doesn't include the other (as far as I'm aware).

Microsoft, Think Technologies, and Dayna (sp?) also make Macintosh Mail
products.  Others more familiar with them can provide more information
than I.  Anyone?
