Subject:   OT - FBSD MUA w/ Win9x mail Gateway

I'm looking for a big dose of "field expediency" ;)

I'm stuck with having to use Win9x software to connect to my ISP. I've set 
up a DOS "mail gateway" that does SMTP & POP3 and is capable of using an 
existing winsock connection. The said gateway (Netmail) uses .txt and .wrk 
files in the configured "inbox" and "outbox" ( a la Unix, according to its 
docs).

Is it possible to coax a FBSD MUA to write the above required .txt and 
.wrk files to a DOS partition, i.e. Netmail's "outbox"? I want to 
read/write my mail in FBSD but receive/send in Win9x. Why? -- can't afford 
an "no-strings-attached" ISP at the moment. I have a standalone box with 
Win9x on wd0 and 3.3R on wd1. Private replies OK!! Tia...
