[fa.info-vax] Mail under V4

Has anyone else had trouble with large mail messages under the VMS V4
mail program?  It seems that if you mail a large file, it refuses to
read or extract it, saying that a 29,xxx byte record is too large for
its buffer, or somesuch.  Several of the arpanet digests frequently fall
into this category.

Are there any alternatives?  I would dearly love to hear of a mail program
that runs under VMS V4, that has decently documented network hooks, and
that is RFC 822 compatible.  I would love it even more if it didn't cost
anything, but I'll try to wring some bucks out for anything that fits
the first three requirements.

Anybody???

The software tools mail system, written by Joe Sventek uses SMTP and is
an alternative to VMS Mail. Boston University uses it and communicates
out over bitnet, and UUCP (maybe ARPA too?). It even works over DECNET.

looking for software tools to install on our VAX11/730 in order to
