Re: E-mail for Pilot

I think a much better approach, in that it would be much easier to code,
and more compatible into the future, is to use either the pop3 or imap4
interface into mail.  There are well established libraries to use for
this, which would make management of mail folders and their contents
much easier.  University of Washington distributes a copy of these libs
for example.  Look at:

http://www.washington.edu/imap/

Good luck.
