The inspiration for this project comes from a mail reader designed by Ian Smith called PowerMail. PowerMail is a mail reader written in TCL and C. For more information contact Ian (his URL is given above).

In addition, there is another team working on the same mail reader project. The name of the team is Jester and their Project Notebook is also available on the web.
