Years ago, running Window$, I used an application which automated the process of playing chess via email. I don't remember the details, but an email with a chess game file (.pgn ?) would launch an application similar to xboard, and the chess application would create a game file (.pgn ?) for mailing. The automation did away with almost all of the hassle.
Is there a Linux package (or perhaps an extension to mutt) which facilitates playing chess via email? Alternatively, is there a good HOWTO on email chess? RLH
