I have an account on a VMS system and on a Unix system, both of which
have NET mail facilites, and both of which are long-distance phone calls
for me.  What I'd like to do is run a program on my PC that will call
the mainframe at (say) 2:00am, and get all my mail, and send any I've
written locally.  That is, I need a local mailer program for my PC that
will call the mainframe, login as me, and then use the mailer there for
NET mail.  It's not really a hard program to hack, but if someone's
already done it, all the better.

Failing that, does anyone know how to save a mail message in VMS's
MAIL facility into a file with the name of MY CHOICE?

Thanks in advance.  (please E-mail, summary, etc.)
