Sun is not providing their mailtool -- that's ok, since it's not
portable.  However, the source to Mush is currently free and a
port of Mush to XView probably isn't that far around the corner
since it already has a sunview interface on it now.  Mush ports
to every flavor of unix and is even running DOS and OS/2 (apologies).

The documentation is not free -- but the source code that is used in
the doc is free.  The "doc" is Volume 7 of the O'Reilly && Associates
series on X Programming/Using, etc...  The source to the example
programs come with the XView distribution.
