From: Jeff Dean <DEAN@Usc-Ecl> Date: 23 Aug 1982 1745-PDT Is there a mail program that is better than the one that comes with System III or 4.1bsd? For someone used to the TOPS-20 MM program, the standard Unix mail program looks like a toy; MM provides more features and is easier to use. Someone must have something better!? ------- [Note by Geoff@SRI-CSL, your UNIX-Wizards remailer: S. McLure Cracraft (Mclure@SRI-UNIX) [sri-unix!mclure], has developed a very nice TOPS-20 MMish type of UA (User Agent) which interfaces to your mail composing program, called "mu" (Message Utility?). However, SRI Management (`Management' of which I am not associated with (nor agree with in this case, I might add), has so far kept it "under wraps" because they are mulling over marketing/selling it. I am hoping the `Management' will come around, soon, and that the "mu" UA will be posted on net.sources and eventually somehow end up as part of the BSD distribution and in the public domain.]
