I can't really give you a feature list yet as I'm still not sure what
all will be included with version one.  At this point, all I can be
sure will be in the first release is sending and receiving of mail
with inbox and outbox folders and a kill file system so you don't need
to read mail from particular users (basically being included so you
can delete spam messages without having to read them).

Other than that I can't really say at this point.

Yeah, I'll be using it every day too.  Probably several times a day.
:-)

After I first got Marinetti to connect to the net (1 January, 1998 at
approximately 1 am), I immediately felt the need for the basic
internet programs.  To mean, this means e-mail, ftp and news.  A few
weeks later I started writing my e-mail program.

It will be shareware but I haven't set a price yet.  It won't be very
expensive, though.

Well, I know there is more development work going on in the
telecommincations area but I can't say who is doing it or what they
are writing or when it will be ready.  You'll have to wait for other
programmers to speak up or post an announcement about their projects.

Sorry.  :-/
