- We are using MAILworks (aka Allin1 MAIL for xxx) and like it very much. It
- runs on our MACs, PC's, dumb terminals, and X terminals, so anyone can move
- between platforms and still get at his mail.

- The license for MAILworks comes with Pathworks, so if you have pathworks,
- you have Mailworks. If you can fall under the CSLG as an educational
- institution you can get the VT client and the DECW client under that
- program.
-
- It does handle arbitrary binary attachments. We also have purchased PMDF from
- Innosoft (SALES@INNOSOFT.COM) which allows us to pass binary attachments to
- the Internet in MIME format. We also have an internal X.400 network that
- we can pass binaries over. All in all, we like it.
