Another solution we could use is an HP-Office to UN*X link. The basics
of this are built into HP-Office, but some (user written) interface
routines are also necessary on the HP3000 side. Anyone know of a set
of these interface routines.

HP-Desk uses the same file formats for mail as DARPA SMTP.  With the
intruduction of ARPA services on HP-UX you should be able to trivially
transfer mail with HP's NFT.
