[REBOL] Re: Shall we code a mail client?
From: ammoncooke:yaho:o at: 16-Aug-2001 0:40
I don't think that we should try to create a server here just yet, but let
us create the client, get a couple thousand copies in use--Then create the
server--this would give ISP more motivation to switch. Also in creating a
server it would need to be 100% compatible with other mail clients, but
allow certain neat features if the mail client who is fetching mail anounces
himself as capable to recieve those features.
Enjoy!!(just another 2 cents)
