    I downloaded a copy of it. From the README file:
    "Other features:
    - local users of the linux machine can be granted access to the mailreader
      and optionally to the shell. ...............(bits omitted)
      Users with the mail option enabled will receive messages like "New mail
      has arrived", mostly when the stated condition is met ;-)
    - all users can send messages to a callsign associated in the kernel table
      with a linux username ("send" command)."

    This may be a new feature in the v0.4-pre2 version I downloaded.

    It seems to be evolving into a PMS, going by what I've seen in the above.
