RE: a note I sent to Telstra EasyMail

[david.buddrige@mitswa.com.au]

I say we all start emailing feedback@telstra.easymail.com.au writing (in our
own words) that we want the tech-specs for easy mail released so we can
write our own client... (Big companies respond to numbers - they may not
realise the extent of users that we are talking about here).

Dear Easymail feedback,

I believe it would really be beneficial to your bottom line if you could
make public the technical specs of how to write an Easymail client and
let Linux developers create a client. There are many old 386/486 machines
out there that cannot run GUIs but run text mode Linux very well. Using
a client like pine or elm, people could access your service from such
boxes and increase your revenue.

	Thanks, Ken
