[HECnet] Zaphod down for a few days

[Sampsa Laine]

Got any documentation for this API?

Ideally I'd want to somehow "hook" into the MAIL application in the same way as TCP/IP does, i.e. to send an smtp message you prepend SMTP% to the recipient, I would love to be able to use an address like:

	FIDO%"John Q Public at 1:123/4.5"

How painful would this be to do (the hooking into the MAIL part and parsing, I'll worry about the Fidonet encodings etc myself)?

How easy is it to get mail in and out of VMS mail using say DCL?

Sending is pretty easy, but reading it would require you to do some
parsing (which, of course, can be done).

But there is an API for VMS mail and it'd be easier to write a program to
do it instead (unless you really want to prove that you can do it in DCL)...
