- The last time I saw mailtool, it was just an interface to /usr/ucb/mail
- without added features. There are plenty of more featureful user mail agents
- out there, like Messages from the Andrew ToolKit. Even if you still want
- to run mailtool, though, just put /usr/openwin/lib after /usr/lib/X11 in
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It's just an XView client and thus in no way requires the
- xnews server.
