We are looking for an X11 application to read and send mail. I downloaded a copy of xmail by Michael Wangitz. I got it compiled on our AT&T 3B2/600G running sysV 3.2 but it crashes the whole system when I try and run it. I think the problem is it only works with bsd mail program. Which obviously is different from System V mail I have. Any Ideas where I can get a PD copy of a bsd mail workalike. If not Are there any other good X mail front ends that will work with System V?? PS. I tried getting xmh to work but had problems getting mh to compile and gave up. If xmh is really great let me know and I'll try again. Thanks Kevin Meek -- Kevin Meek kmeek@cti.com

Dan Heller (the moderator of that newsgroup) has promised me that I am 'next' in the queue. However, he is currently presenting a tutorial lecture at Xhibition91 in San Jose, so I doubt if we will see the posting before the end of this week. Since it is already Thursday, that shouldn't be too much longer a wait.
