Subject:  [VOICENWS] RexxMail -- the sequel.

News about RexxMail:

RexxMail has been updated with built-in POP3 and SMTP services, so users
are no longer dependent on external programs (e.g. sendmail) to handle
mail transmission. This makes installation and configuration of the
program a lot easier. Of course, RexxMail still offers capabilities for
handling mail transmission through external programs for those who prefer
to do so.

The updated RexxMail also includes a mailing list feature with the option
of sending personalized messages.

RexxMail is an object-oriented e-mail client written in REXX that makes
full use of the extensive range of facilities offered by the OS/2
Workplace Shell (WPS). The RexxMail user interface uses only standard WPS
components (folders, file and program objects, etc.). RexxMail mail
message objects are separate, plain text, files that can be used anywhere
on the WPS desktop. You can use your favourite editor to compose and read
mail messages, and since both incoming and outgoing attachments (including
HTML content) are presented as standard WPS objects, you can also use your
favourite software to process these.

The program takes up very limited system resources (the
RexxComm-stripped RexxMail code weighs in at a puny 88 kB), and only when
performing specific tasks such as sending, collecting, and processing
e-mail message files. For all other tasks, it relies on the unequalled
object-oriented data handling environment of the WPS. In addition,
RexxMail offers an easy command-line interface for all its functions.

RexxMail features a multi-user configuration as well as a wide range of
individual user options, including:

    - choice of text reader for incoming messages;
    - choice of text editor for outgoing messages;
    - preprocessing of incoming attachments (e.g. virus scan);
    - preprocessing of outgoing attachments (e.g. data compression);
    - preselection of header entries to show for incoming messages;
    - preconfigurable message object title content;
    - send message text as quoted-printable or (word-wrapped) ASCII;
    - send selected messages or all messages as ASCII text;
    - intelligent 8-bit (PC850) to 7-bit (ASCII) text conversion;
    - conversion to 8.3 filenames for selected filename extensions;
    - full error and message traffic logging;
    - RFC to ISO-sorted date conversion;
    - choice of message icon stationery colours.

The updated version of RexxMail will be available after the weekend from:
    <http://www.degeus.com/rexx>
