[REBOL] Re: Shall we code a mail client?
From: ryanc:iesco-dms at: 15-Aug-2001 9:53
If my mail client could only...
* Give me access to multiple mail accounts.
* Allow me to get read my work mail from home and my home mail from work,
without erasing it from the server.
* Enable me to read/import my web based mail too.
* Detect spam, viruses and chain mail.
* Some "macro" capability for varied signature insertion and random quotes.
