With the recent upgrade of VMS, we got new features in almost
every utility that VMS has.  Some of you know about them from complaints
about out-of-date command tables (we're working on a better solution for
that).  At any rate, MAIL is no exception; it has new stuff (bugs or
features, you guess) too.

	Mail changed it's database quite a bit.  It now keeps track of
which printer you want (SET QUE TTxx, see the door of the printer room
for details), and you can choose your editor, and you may opt to be asked
for CC names or not.  All of this stuff gets saved when you exit mail
for the next time.  Except for Wordmarc users, you don't have to wrap
a command file around mail (MAIL$EDIT or MAIL$PRINT) in order to get it
to do what you want.  Go into mail and do a SHOW ALL to find out your
environment.  SET what you want different.

	Of course, it has a price.  In the process, it lost track of the
current message count for most accounts.  Read all your messages, and then
do a READ/NEW to A)display an error message and B)set the count to zero.

	Some time soon, we hope to let you know about some of the more
helpful changes.  Soon as we figure out if any are helpful...

	Watch this space for further details.
