- Yes, NeXTMail should be encouraged in direct mailing, where the
- recipient reads mail on the NeXT.
-
- But NeXTMail should NOT be encouraged on this mailing list, since it
- is always mutilated by the gateways. EVERYBODY gets it trashed,
- whether they're reading it on a NeXT or not. So until that problem
- is resolved, avoid NeXTMail on this mailing list.
