Idiots.

: Does anyone know whether Windows-NT will accept e-mail from Apple II???

It looks bad. Hopefully they'll provide standard POP/SMTP/IMAP interfaces,
instead of some proprietary piece of nastiness like Microsoft Mail. But
that still leaves you with the problem of client software. At least with a
Unix host, you can log in with a simple terminal emulator, and run your
mail clients remotely; there's no such functionality with Win NT.

Hmm.
