Dave,

I have written an extensive email program that runs from IBM, out a modem,
and works thru an SCO/386 system.  

>From your message I wasn't able to discern whether the email program
you are looking for runs inside Xenix, or you come in from the outside.
If from the outside and interested, email back to me (or call 
{719} 473-1898) to query more.

Briefly, the software allows automatic retrieval of email, read, reread, 
save in a CHRON file, print it. . . and send mail, either a created
message on the fly, or a prepared text file in a wordprocessor (needs
to be saved in ascii of course before send), and also the ability
to save this outgoing mail in a CHRON file.  The program also has
a utilities ability, allowing one to change passwords, install to
a new disc area, things like that.

As I mentioned, am not sure where the program you are looking for is to
reside, but if from DOS, I have code already working with little
heartburn that runs to SCO and I feel due to the way I wrote it, is
portable to other Unix systems too.

Oh, one other thought: it allows a user to address a message to one or up to
9 individuals, or with the alias mail command, groups make it that much
better.
