[comp.sys.next] Sending NeXT mail through a modem

mitroo@magnus.ircc.ohio-state.edu (Varun Mitroo) (02/20/91)

I have a cube at home, and I dial in to my campus account using kermit.  I
recently have begun keeping all my mail on my computer at home, and I have
done this by downloading my mbox files.  Also, I can easily get any incoming
mail from my campus account by copying the /usr/spool/mail file to home.

The problem is in sending mail from my computer at home.  There is no problem
with sending text mail by cutting and pasting, but how does one send NeXTmail?
After taking a look through the man pages for sendmail, I'm still unsure how
to do it.  Would I have to manually tar, compress, and uuencode the mail and
then use kermit to transfer the file, or is there an easier way?

If anybody knows, please let me know and I will post the solution.  NeXTmail
welcome. :-)
