MultiMail

By William McBrine .

MultiMail is an offline mail packet reader for Unix and other systems.
(This version also compiles under MSDOS, with DJGPP or Turbo C++; OS/2,
with EMX; Win32, with RSX/NT or Borland C++; BeOS and AtheOS.) It currently
supports the Blue Wave, QWK, OMEN, SOUP and OPX formats. It uses a simple
curses-based interface.

MultiMail is free, "open source" software, distributed under the GNU
General Public License (q.v.).

You can get the latest version by anonymous ftp from:

 ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/multimail/mmail-0.46.tar.gz

or at the MultiMail home page:

 http://multimail.sourceforge.net/

Features
--------

 * auto-decompression of packets with external compress programs
 * user-friendly menus to select packet, area, letter, etc.
 * save whole area or one letter in a text file
 * enter mail in any area (using external editor)
 * insert tagline from a tagline file
 * reply with quote
 * write netmail
 * netmail addressbook

Requirements for compiling
--------------------------

 * Unix-compatible (POSIX) API, or Borland/Turbo C++
 * curses -- tested with ncurses 1.9.3+, Solaris curses, and PDCurses
 * GNU make *may* be required on some systems

Tested Systems
--------------

I'd like to get MultiMail tested on as many platforms as possible. I've
personally used it on:

Operating Systems:  Linux, Solaris, NetBSD, DOS, OS/2, Windows, BeOS,
                    FreeBSD, AtheOS, MacOS X
Processors:         i386, Sparc, m68k, Alpha, i86, PPC, ARM, MIPS, AMD64
Compilers:          GCC (including DJGPP, EMX, and RSXNT), Compaq Alpha
                    (w/ GNU make), Borland/Turbo C++, Sun C++ (w/ GNU make)
Libraries:          ncurses, Solaris curses, PDCurses

I believe this works with all Windows installations.

L8r. :)

... MultiMail, the new multi-platform, multi-format offline reader!
