- No offense to Mark, but you can't build Xmh or Xmail on a stock HPUX
- system because the HP-UX is missing various pieces and parts that come
- standard on every other UNIX/X11 system I've ever used. To compile
- most X software, one has to get the "missing" X11 libraries and
- headers from HP Corvallis, Oregon's ftp site. (HINT: HP should be
- shipping these libraries STANDARD with every box).

- I have also explored Zmail. If I can figure out how to purchase a
- copy before the end of the fiscal year, I'll be using Zmail. It isn't
- cheap, but it is quite nice.
