This is the README for denext.NIHS.bs.tar.gz [Download] [Browse] [Up]

This package allows the reading of NeXTmail on nonNeXT machines. Specifically,
it will decode the NeXTmail and show you the textual part of the message.
NeXT attachments are noted in the textual output.

I didn't write this code. I pried it out of an old NeXT Users Journal (which
is now defunct). When I run across NeXTmail within my mail reader (elm), I
pipe it to "denext" which then allows me to preview the message before
transferring it to my NeXT.

The conversion of rich text to plain ascii isn't perfect so you will see
a little RTF in the ascii but it's quite readable.

README         This file.

Enjoy...
