While I hate to get involved but ...


I have been using a package called TRANSEND for my IBM PC. It allows 
a reasonable PC-PC mail transefer with "attachments" that can be com files
etc. It used the modem7 protocol. Its human interface is very nice and
easily learned by simple managers. It can also relay mail though 
mail systems like the the SOURCE and Ontyme . So I can compose a 
lot of mail on my PC send some of it via pc-pc communications and
some via the source etc. While the mail part is not up to
arpanet standards (by a long shot) you would be surprised at how
useful it is. Clearly as soon as MCI gets their protocol
public, it too will be a vehicle for this type of usage
with a lot more flexibilty since I can telex etc.
