  We used to run this on our Novell Netware system and it integrated beautifully.

  I still use it occasionally even now when I want to decode attachments from emails that I only have the plain text of.

  We also ran Mercury Mail server for a few years as well. The software always felt like it was a labour of love from the author.

  So nice that the site still has an "email etiquette" page - so few of those still around these days!

  Looked after a 1000 seat Pegasus and Mercury installation on Netware in the 90s. Surprised to hear it is still going!

  I remember setting it up in 1996 for our small company:) Was a replacement for Compuserve :)
