[comp.mail.misc] Useful mail utilities for the IRIS workstations...

gerber@aurora.gsfc.nasa.gov (Joseph Rudolph Gerber) (06/10/91)

Hello!

I am seeking a legal copy of a reasonable mail utility (NOT /bin/mail)
for my Silicon Graphics Personal Iris 4D Workstation, which runs a version
of At&T Unix.  

I have heard that Elm is a good mail utility, as is U. C. Berkley's /bsd/mail.
I have also heard that these packages may not have been ported to the IRIS 4D.
Does anyone know where I can get a good mailer?

Ironic though it may be, please reply by e-mail to gerber@aurora.gsfc.nasa.gov. I do have a marginally functional mailer which will at least be able to recieve 
your message.
	Thanks,
	Joe Gerber

ELM runs perfect on both of out IRIS's and on nearly 50 other machines in our
LAN. The users are happy with it, as I am too, and I recommend to give it a try.
 
ELM is available from various sites all over the world, sorry, I don't have a
list handy. The actual source (ELM 2.3 PatchLevel 11) is available from 
ftp.zrz.tu-berlin.de [130.149.4.50] from directory ~/pub/mail/ua/elm as
elm-2.3.11.tar.Z via anonymous ftp.
