Here is the summary of respones and information I hunted down on Macintosh uucp/email/usenet software. It was disappointing that only two people responed to my request posting, especially considering the large number of Macintosh postings in the Mac news groups. I can not believe that all these Mac users settle for an interface like rn provides to access usenet. Summary: Microsoft Mail, Microsoft, 206-257-5480. Third parties provide gatway software to Unix via SMTP and Ethernet. Microsoft is reported to have a uucp gateway that they are using internally, maybe they will consider it as a future product. Quickmail, CE Software, 515-224-1995. This product reportedly has capabilities and third party gateways into a large number of diverse mail systems. UMCP/QM, Information Electronics, 607-257-5480, INFOELECT%rubicon.UUCP@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu. This product is a uucp gateway for Quickmail to be available late March. This looks like the solution for me. Their product fact sheet looks interesting, I look forward to seeing the product. MacWEEK, 6 March 1990 This issue contained a comparison of Microsoft Mail and Quickmail as well as several other interesting email related issues for the Mac user. Thanks to those that responded. If anyone has any additions of Mac like interfaces to uucp/email/usenet, please send me email and I will summarize to net as appropriate. -- Please respond via email, I will summarize to net when appropriate, thanks.
