- NeXTmail is the NeXT multimedia-mail application. It allows drag and drop
- transmission of sound, pictures, files, and rich text. The MIME standard
- and NeXTmail seem to have been written independently.

- No, there's not any software currently available that allows the use of
- NeXTmail on the Mac. It would be nice if there was. If someone is
- developing NeXTmail for the Mac, I'd love to have it.
-
- Hopefully someone will develop a service to convert NeXTmail to MIME
- and vice versa. Or register the NeXTmail formats as MIME formats (if
- that'll work).
