- Oops -- one big omission in my last message. One family of things that you
- should definitely look at that I didn't mention is the series of DEC
- e-mail client/server products. Despite the old name (ALL-IN-1 MAIL) these
- products have nothing to do with ALL-IN-1 classic. They are also pretty
- damn good. But they do depend on deployment of a PathWorks infrastruture
- plus the use of MailWorks (the new name) and Message Router on the VMS
- side of things.

- Amusingly enough, when you couple these things with Multinet, PMDF, and
- PMDF-MR, you then have the only client-server setup that supports MIME
- fully. I know of no clients presently for either POP or IMAP that support
- MIME in any real sense, but then again I also don't know of any clients that
- are not planning to support MIME in some future release either.
