- so you appear to be primarily interested in MUSHes, about which I know
- little. But I've seen one MUCK email system, and that particular one
- would be, technically speaking, relatively easy to link into the RL
- email system. I haven't bothered actually doing it, though, as it
- looks somewhat tedious and is of marginal benefit, at least to me.
- (It would involve a mailer-daemon character the muck mailer knows about
- specially, which an external daemon connects to periodically, or
- perhaps holds a connection open to....)
