- I highly recommend xmailtool ... It has functionality as nice or better
- than xmh, but it works with the bsd mail system that you get with IRIX.
- Builds very easily, just do xmkmf -> make -> put XMailTool.ad in
- /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults as XMailTool -> put xmailtool.help in /usr/lib/X11
- -> put xmailtool.man in /usr/catman/local/man1/ as xmailtool.1 ...

- Cheers!
