Hello all,
    Recently I posted that I had put the replies I received concerning the 
format of VMS mail (*.MAI) files up for anonymous ftp on unocss.unl.edu
(129.93.1.11).  Someone sent me mail saying that they had a problem
getting a DIRECTORY of the anonymous account, presumably from their VMS
machine.
     I'm assuming this works from Unix machines, because I did it with no 
problems from another Unix machine here.  The only way I could get a DIRECTORY 
from a VMS machine was to type DIRECTORY "*".  This seems to work fine. Sorry
for any trouble this caused, and I'll try to get it fixed...

Someone sent me mail saying that they had a problem Wow; if it was worth putting up for anonymous FTP, there must've been some useful information. I've been looking for VMS Mail format details for a long time, but all I'm ever hearing back is "look at the fiche" or "use ANALYZE/RMS". Well, I have no access to fiche, and ANA/RMS doesn't tell me much IN DETAIL, so I'm "still looking" for the information. This latest offer of "anonymous FTP" sounds quite promising, except that I can't perform any such thing from here! Was wondering if some kind soul might consider ftp-ing the stuff themselves, and e-mailing it to me? ONE person would be sufficient, and I'd want to pre-arrange it through E-mail before you start sending me files, but I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Chris Chiesa, Senior, CS.
