Subject: PC-Pine can work with unix-mbox file ?

Hi,

I am looking for a mail program that runs under plain DOS and can 
deal with a unix mbox format mail file (like /usr/spool/mail/user).

The mailer should understand MIME, and should be able to launch
applications for body-parts of specific MIME types automatically.

To send outgoing mail, perhaps it could make a mbox file,
or whatever. I could add in dial-up and file-transfer scripts 
to take care of the rest.

Essentially, I am trying to help a user who wishes to use MIME on 
an offline PC running plain DOS. None of the QWK readers seem
to know anything close to attachments and launching applications.
I thought PC-Pine should do it, but unlike unix pine, pc-pine insists on
going on-line over to an IMAP daemon.

Thanx in advance ..
