RFC 1056: PCMAIL: A distributed mail system for personal computers
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This memo is a discussion of the Pcmail workstation based distributed mail system. It is identical to the discussion in RFC-993, save that a new, much simpler mail transport protocol is described. The new transport protocol is the result of continued research into ease of protocol implementation and use issues.
