I'm currently undertaking a project which involves the production of a user-friendly interface to the UNIX mail system, as part of my MSc, and my literature survey has been rather frustrating to date. I need to read material relating to ergonomic aspects of mailers, so that I can develop ideas about how to proceed. I would be really grateful if you could mail me any references that you think might help me. My implementation will use X windows, probably with the Xr toolkit. I remember reading a few weeks ago that someone was going to post a front end using X for the elm program. I'd be very grateful if someone could let me know if I have missed it, since it would be a very useful source of ideas for me. If there's much interest in this subject I'd be happy to post a summary of references that I have been given. I think that the trouble I am having is mainly due to the newness of the material, so I expect other people would be interested as well. Many thanks.
