FYI:
Post.Office is still sold by OpenWave. OpenWave (formerly Phone.com) merged with
Software.com last year. The URL for Post.Office
is:
http://www.openwave.com/products/legacy/post_office/
Notice that the link to the Post.Office page has the word "legacy" in it. The
software hasn't been updated for WinNT since October,
1998 and for UNIX since February, 1999. They still are more than happy to sell it to
you, though.
Regards,
Howie
