        This may be the wrong place but I really want to know.  Is Zmail the
'advanced' version of mush and if so, what is the cost and advantages?

I'm not sure of the cost -- I believe it's about $300/user --
but Zmail is, indeed the "advanced" version of mush.

Zmail's two main improvements are an X/Motif interface (and
quite a good one) and an improved script language.

Description: Zmail email software targets Unix or
             proprietary multiplatform environments.  It
             supports common Unix mail transport agents such
             as sendmail, smail, /bin/mail, and any others
             compatible with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
             and UUCP protocols.  It also works with
             gateways to IBM's PROFS office system, DEC
             VMS-based systems, and PC or Apple networks.
             Besides availability across platforms, Zmail
             works across several interfaces including Open
             Look, Motif, full-screen, and the command-line
             as well.  With Zmail, you can open and search
             multiple folders at the same time; trace
             multiple-message conversations and piece them
             back together; use corporate forms and
             templates; merge messages into digests, and
             attach code, documents, graphics, and audio
             messages.  The software can also sort and file
             mail without your having to read it.
