Simple sollution that does all of this:

Get the following programs and install them as instructed:
	smail    - smart mailer (handles internet addresses et al)
		   gives you /usr/lib/aliases, a smart mailer ...
	elm	 - electronic mail user interface - replaces mailx completely
	lmail	 - John Zeef's replacement for the local mail delivery
		   program - gives you mail to programs and other goodies

This combo works on V/286 and V/386 - I love it!
If you can't get lmail, let me know and I will see what I can do.
