The focus should be on the administrative side (eg sendmail), and in particular under what situations the out-of-the-box configuration needs to be tweaked. On the other hand, there are a number of excellent books on mail administration that we do not need to duplicate here. Finding a happy compromise is the task. I think we need at most a brief overview about how to use the standard mail client. I expect that most people use something other than the standard client so an extensive tutorial might be wasted words. We do have a good tutorial for mh, while pine and elm (to their credit) hardly need anything more than their on-line help provides. A brief survey of alternate mail client would be useful, as would some other mail-related packages such as procmail and majordomo. > Unfortunately, at the moment, I don't know much about sgml, so I'm not Don't let that stop you! > sure I could mark it up properly, but I could (hopefully?) start on > something in ascii.
