Emacs for DOS does not support email, because it depends on having a Unixy email system in the OS. If you were to set up your DOS box so that it had a mailbox structure, and created something that remotely resembled 'sendmail', I imagine that you could hack Emacs to use it. I wouldn't want to try though. ;) > Finally, where can I find EMACS for DOS or NT? > Thanks, Precompiled binaries are available on SimTel in the 'v2/em1934?.zip' packages. Look at the readme that's there before getting anything. You can also get the full (10+ MB) distribution from the GNU ftp site and compile it yourself. There is a Win32 version of Emacs out there somewhere, though I don't know the URL. Unfortunately, you can't build it with DJGPP. -- John M.
