[comp.sys.sun] Xwindows and Mailtool

Stig.F.Mjolsnes@elab-runit.sintef.no (07/25/90)

Email life is easy with mailtool in Suntools, and I am not prepared to
manage without.  How can I get this utility with Xwindows?

Sun's xnews comes with an X compatable mailtool. It does NOT require any
special xnews (PostScript) features

In the Openwindows distribution there is an X/Openlook version of mailtool
that I use under olwm.

You might also consider mush (mail user's shell) which is available on the
net. This provides a termcap interface which is useable which, although
lacking the same windowing interface of "mailtool", has many nice features
of it's own that make it worth considering.
