March 11, 1996 At the March meeting, Kirby Thornton will present a tutorial on installing, configuring, and using PostRoad Mailer. Innoval Systems' PostRoad Mailer is a native 32-bit program for sending and receiving electronic mail via the Internet. It includes its own editor that supports word wrap, quoted replies, drag-and-drop operations (file, print, etc.), and MIME attachments. It also supports a variety of filters as well as "user exits" programmable in REXX. About the speaker: ----------------- Kirby Thornton has plied his programming skills with the US Government for more than ten years in support of a variety of database-oriented applications. He's been an enthusiastic supporter of the CPUCG OS/2 SIG for several years. FUTURE SIG FEATURES In April, we will have a special meeting featuring the OS/2 network and attendant applications that support the Maryland State Highway Authority (SHA) traffic operations center. By special arrangement with SHA, we will be meeting at their facility in Hanover, MD. The meeting will include a presentation and tour of the facility. For those who are interested, we are trying to arrange carpools to simplify traveling to Hanover. Please let one of the SIG officers know if you are interested (see the SIG OFFICERS heading for officers' electronic mail addresses). Because of its location (and the travel time required for many participants), the April meeting will have an abbreviated program: 7:30 p.m. Q&A, SIG business, and Announcements 8:00 p.m. Feature presentation NOTE: After discussion at the February meeting in Virginia, there will be no Virginia OS/2 SIG meeting in April. In May, we have tentatively scheduled a product update from Rhintek.
