- The metamail software -- available from thumper.bellcore.com in the
- directory pub/nsb -- can easily be patched into existing mail or news
- readers. The next release of metamail will include a patch for trn,
- but nobody has yet sent me a patch for rn. In general, the patches
- for different mail and news readers written in C are almost identical;
- for anyone who knows the rn code and who has a copy of the metamail
- patches for other C-based mail or news programs, it should take only
- a few hours to write and debug an rn patch.
-
- The existing patches are contained in the file "mailers.txt" in the
- metamail distribution. Anyone implementing patches for rn or other
- additional mail or news readers is encouraged to send me the patch
- for incorporation into a future release. The next release is
- coming some time in December, so you'll have to act fast if you want
- to get your rn patch into it! -- Nathaniel
