Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Mumail 2.4Beta Release

    Mumail (mo mail, as in ``more mail'') is an X-based mail reader.
    It's a stand alone mail reader, not just a front-end like xmh. If
    you're familair with Elm, you'll feel at home with Mumail. Mumail
    can read/write Elm folders and uses key shortcuts similar to those
    of Elm.

    This is version 2.4 Beta of Mumail and is still somewhat experimental 
    so backup your mail folders before opening them with Mumail, just in case
    something goes wrong.

    The beta period for this version of Mumail will probable run about
    two months.  The reason for this is that 1. I will be out of town
    for a month during this time and I am still getting familiar with the
    code and want time after I return to clean up any problems.

    This release has been tested by me under SunOS 4.1.3 and Linux 1.0.5.
    If you compile/port this release to any other platforms please let
    me know and provide me any changes neccessary.

    If you use Mumail and like it, please let me know. You can also
    fill in and send the survey included with the release; it's quite
    simple, just a few questions.


    The release require the availability of the XPM library (preferably
    version 3.3).  The code using this to set the icon is isolated into
    MmMain.c and you can comment it out if you do not have XPM 
    available.  This will be made a configurable option in the 
    official 2.4 release.

The following is the lsm entry for mumail:
