Does anyone know of an X version of Suntools "Mailtool"?
I have Xbiff which is great for receiving mail, but I'm looking for something that is closer to "Mailtool" with equal ability to send mail.
I'm running X10.4 on Sun 3/50's and 3/110's
If you have something like this, or know where I should be looking, please e-mail me.
Thanks in advance
-Frank.

You want Xmh. The source is part of the X.V11R1 & R2 distributions. It's an
X Toolkit application, and it spawns off lots of MH commands to actually do
its work -- so Xmh itself is basically 99% user interface.
What's MH? If you have to ask, you may not want to know :-). Ask a local
guru or post to comp.mail.mh for the long story. The short story is that MH
is a bunch of shell-level commands that manipulate (send, read, etc) mail.
It's an excellent user interface even for TTY users, but coupled with Xmh,
it makes for the finest mail user agent (MUA) I've used other than the one on
the Symbolics.
