I have written a POP client module for the public domain PC-IP package KA9Q. Currently, I use this POP client to pick up mail from a POP server located on a UNIX host. The mail is appended to mail box file in the PC. What I would like to have, is a nice user agent (like "msg") on the PC for reading the messages from the mailbox. Is anyone out there aware of a public domain UA that runs on a PC?. Is there a version of MH that runs on a PC?. ----- Stephen Israel (201) 754 7714

1) What version of POP? They are not interoperable.
2) KA9Q is not public domain. It is freely copyable by radio amateurs and
educational institutions. All others should contact karn@ka9q.bellcore.com
3) If it's POP3 for NOS, I'd like a copy.
Is anyone out there aware of a public domain UA that runs on a PC?.
My 'Freemacs' text editor will have an RMAIL mode in release 1.6a. This
lets you read and write mail per the KA9Q conventions. The release will
be announced on comp.sys.ibm.pc and comp.emacs.

I believe that someone has ported an older version of Mush to MS-DOS. It should be available on SIMTEL20 in PD1:<MSDOS.UUCP> (or some other plausable-sounding directory; the Internet connection is down right now so I can't check). It was designed to use UUPC as a back-end, but since they supply the necessary changes to the source code, it shouldn't be too hard to change it to whatever POP/KA9Q wants it to be. -- Marc Unangst | "The only limit to our realization of Internet: mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | tomorrow will be our doubts of today."
