- the description was culled from the README/documentation for tmail. (I
- suggested the mix and the author ok'd it, so I submitted it)

- the author says he hears of people using it with waffle - I was going to
- wait until I'd found someone with a waffle config file for it before
- putting it on halcyon. that's also why it's in <msdos.uucp>
-
- he says that it can be used directly in place of pcelm, so that was why
- I put `Waffle' in the description
-
- If you are already using UUPC's mail or PCElm, you can start TMail
- right up. All three mailers are interchangeable, although TMail
- will handle much larger mailboxes than the UUPC mail program.
-
- the way it reads news is to transmogrify it into a big mailbox - if it's
- what you want to do, you can, but it's likely not. he sez:
-
- I'm sorry that the news support is UUPC-only; if waffle can
- deliver news to a mailbox then you won't need them anyway.
