MM
mm is a powerful electronic mail system which allows you to send, read, edit
and manage messages quickly and easily.
mm features the CCMD package developed at Columbia. It has extensive internal
help, recognition of abbreviated commands, completion of partly typed
commands by use of the TAB key, and help on partly typed commands by use
of the question-mark key. (Type "help ccmd" for more detail.)
mm can read several mail-file formats. Its default is mbox, the same
format used by ucb "mail". It also can read babyl, used by emacs, and
mtxt, and it can copy messages from one file type to another.
