------------------------  PMail V1.0a ------------------------------------

Enclosed is the new PM mailer (PMAIL) companion to nos for os/2. This
version is pretty much fully functional at this point. the copy field
isn't connected yet as I have not decided how best to do that. The
addressee field can support multiple recepients though. PMail runs
pretty much as BM does and, in fact, requires BM.RC in the root. Further,
PMail is designed to run 24hrs non-stop. What I consider a nice feature is
the notification system PMail uses. When not in use PMail should be
minimized, you will notice the clever icon. When mail arrives ( or with 30
sec in the os2nosv4 and previous versions) the icon will change giving you
a graphical indication that new mail is present. For those less familiar
with rural americana, the mailbox flag raises to indicate a mail pickup is
needed. It is perfectly legal to have multiple PMail's running, each looking
at a different mailbox. While reading mail, f7 does a read previous and f8
does a read next. With the upcoming release of PM NOS both PMail and PM NOS
will share, what I hope to be, a fairly robust help system. In the mean time
I think operation should be sufficiently straight-forward that within
seconds one can figure it all out, especially if they are already familiar
with BM. PMail uses as hotkeys (accelerators) the same (I think) command
line function letters as BM except they should be prefixed with the cntrl
key, ie cntrl-h redisplays the headers, cntrl-w does a write current and
cntrl-s does a save current. Any problems discovered, or comments should be
address to me, I welcome good news (particularly after the os2nosv4 problems
with os/2 v2.0). I hope you all find PMail particularly helpful.
