Oh, pmail <3 My personal anecdote: In 1994, I was a junior PC/Novell sysadmin in the Israeli Airforce headquarters in Tel-Aviv (as part of my mandatory military service). Generally speaking, security was kind of a big deal, but somehow there was a copy of pmail running around, and it became the de-facto standard internal email communication tool across the entire airforce headquarters (and probably beyond?). I remember later even plugging it via SMTP into one of the mainframe systems, so we could send and receive messages from pmail to the mainframe. I doubt the author got paid for all those copies, but he definitely deserved to be paid generously for it. pmail was simple and just worked. I don't remember the specifics, but I remember the joy of using it even now.
