Subject: Callable VMS MAIL - Where's the Documentation?
Organization: Haifa University Library
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1992 10:53:04 GMT

Over a period of time I have seen postings that mention the callable interface
for VMS MAIL. Can anyone tell me where the documentation is?  I promise, I've
looked - we have the VMS documentation set for 5.0, with updates through 
5.4xx. I fail to find any reference to callable MAIL in the master index, the
MAIL manual, or any of the programming manuals (system routines, system
services, run-time library).

Am I selectively blind, or is this stuff artfully hidden away?
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Sorry if this question has been asked and answered several times but
I am new to this group and have not seen any related postings here.

My question is this, we have a network of NeXT machines each running
NeXTmail and their mailboxes are local on each users machine. These 
people want to be able to read/reply to there mail from on the road
using either a notebook PC or a PowerBook dialing in through a SLIP
line. I have looked into running a POP server on each machine and 
then using a POP SLIP client on the portables but then either the 
mail remains in the mail spool to be gotten a second time by the 
POP client or it is removed from the spool not allowing 
incorporation into the Nextmail system. I recall some mention of
PINE and IMAP in an earler postings, will that do what we need.
Where can I get some more information on these srevers and respective
clients?

Any feedback on this problem would be helpful. I am new to Nextmail
and pointers would be very useful.

Date: 28 Aug 92 18:14:10 GMT
Followup-To: comp.mail.misc
Organization: GTRI/AERO

I believe I have found a bug in Eudora 1.3b46.  I changed the "Navigate
In", "Navigate Out", and "telnet" (7400.13) strings and was able to
successfully log in to my mail server.  Unfortunately, next time I tried it
I got the message:

"Sorry - the serial port selected is in use and is not available."

There is also a Comm Toolbox Icon with a little satellite dish in the
message box.  This only happens after I gotten mail once with Eudora. 
Eudora will always get the mail the first time I try regardless of any
serial port software I may previously have run.

It sounds to me like Eudora is not freeing the port after it is finished. 
If my diagnosis is wrong, some one please correct me.  If it is right, I
would appreciate knowing that Steve got the message.

Thanks,
Clarke

Subject: Sun Multimedia Mail or MIME?
Organization: Meiko Scientific Corp.
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 1992 12:10:49 GMT

Does anybody know if Sun have any plans to make their Multimedia Mail
(as implemented in the mailtool in OpenWindows 3 ?) MIME compliant?

I sometimes get mail messages with lines like:

----------
X-Sun-Data-Type: text
X-Sun-Data-Description: text
X-Sun-Data-Name: text
X-Sun-Content-Lines: 4

in them, which I guess come from Sun Multimedia Mail, which my MIME
mail reader just treats as "normal" text (fair enough, there's no
Mime-Version: header field).

It seems that there wouldn't be too much work to change the way the
mailtool attaches messages (create a good boundary for a multipart
message change the X-Sun fields to the appropriate MIME fields and use
one of the encoding schemes specified in RFC 1341).

MIME already specifies content types for text / multipart / application /
message / image / audio / video, and the only "benefit" Multimedia
Mail seems to have is that it compresses data sometimes, but on
efficient data formats such as JPEG and MPEG how much does compression
affect the file size?

Were Sun to make Multimedia Mail to embrace MIME then they might want
to put a richtext editor into the mailtool so that people don't have
to resort to feature stuffed (expensive) editors to create postscript
just to unerline or embolden a few words...

So, is anyone (inside or outside Sun) doing anything like this, or
even thinking about it?  I'd like to know...

Hi, netters. I need some help for the following situation:

AAA@XXX is an account I will use for several years and BBB@YYY is an account
I will only use for a few months ( but BBB@YYY will be used more often from
now on ). Because I have kept contact with my friends and colleagues by using
AAA@XXX since a few years now, I don't want to confuse my friends with
my short term new account. Now here comes my question :

Is there a way to reply mail which is forwarded from AAA@XXX to my short 
term account BBB@YYY such that when the other party gets the reply, s/he will
still see the reply as from AAA@XXX account ?

Thanx in advance.

Subject: Internet mail to WordPerfect Office via SprintMail...
Organization: Department of Mechanical Engineering/University of Delaware
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1992 21:15:32 GMT

I have been attempting to send mail to a user through the internet by way of 
sprintmail.

We are on the internet (me.udel.edu), using info from several sources we have
been using the address:

/pn=first.last/prmd=herc.abl/admd=telemail/c=us/@sprint.com

I know that the user I am trying to send mail to uses WordPerfect Office on his end.  They evidently have a "Retix X.400" gateway for WordPerfect Office and
they use SprintMail (aka TeleMail) for their "foreign mail" delivery.

By using the "mail -v" command, I have been able to track the message through
the system "sprintf.merit.edu".  This system claims that the address is valid
and the message has been successfully delivered.  I should add that I had
several unsuccessful attempts where I got a "mail not deliverable" response back
from the gateway 

I have sent several messages to "postmaster@sprint.com" and haven't gotten any
replies.

I have also had the person I am trying to send mail to try and send mail the
other way.  He was able to evidently get Sprint to trace the delivery of the 
message as far as the internet and just like me, he has received no negative 
feedback regarding the message (in other words, it didn't bounce)

I have talked with people at sprint's 800 number (800 336-0437) and also have
called Merit @ 800 666-3748.  Everyone seems to be pointing the finger at the
other party (sprint says it is an internet problem, merit says it is a sprint
problem)

Does anyone know of a way we might be able to resolve this for once and for all?

Please, respond by email to garrett@me.udel.edu if you think you may have ANY
suggestion at all for how we can make this work?  I don't want to have to give
in and get a mailbox on attmail or mcimail, although I am rapidly tiring of thishoo-hah and am just about ready to do this!

Many, many thanks in advance!!!!

(I have reference numbers for messages sent in each direction, if anyone knows
how I can trace these messages, please let me know!!!)

If one uses the form on page 207, just the internet address is sufficient.
The "form" appends the correct routing code to the end of the mail address.

If sending through other methods (such as the SEND command, Aladdins,
or mail command mode), you tack on the router yourself:  @INET#  -

So, my address would be   andy@homebase.vistachrome.com@inet#

Hi,

I am interested in any information about replacing sendmail and NFS mounting
of /usr/spool/mail in a large site by a daemon oriented mail service
(somewhat like nntp for news).  If I understand correctly, pop might be 
an answer.  

What are the implication of such a transition? where can pop be found for
SunOsr, AIX and SVR4?  Does it realy eliminate the need for NFS? how
does one convert sendmail.cf files? etc.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.
