[plug] FW: query about software for easymail (fwd)

[steve at rumah.iinet.net.au]

I'm about to start the move to the new HD so might be away for a bit...

Meanwhile, I suppose telstra must be a bit busy.  Imagine taking 2 weeks
just to inform that the email is being forwarded.  :)

FYA (musement)

See you when the new HD is up.

Hi,
   I run my net computer on the linux operating system, and I would like
to add my name to the list of people asking you to provide software for
accessing easymail under linux in text-mode.

I recently installed linux because of problems I was having with windows
95 and find it to be a very practical way to compute (especially on this
old 486 :), but I've been made aware that you don't have a text-mode email
program for linux.  I could use a GUI program, but it would involve
switching monitors, then switching back afterwards -- not really the
ideal solution.

Telstra probably wouldn't even need to write the application itself,
because linux has a huge number of programmers just waiting for a
project like this: they just need the information to help them write
it, if only telstra would release the specifications..

I hope the people in charge of Easymail will consider helping the linux
community in this way.

Regards,

Steve Gill
