Mynah is a MIME Mailer for the NeXTSTEP platform. It has been designed
to be a (mostly) drop in replacement for NeXT's Mail.app. It has several
important features which go beyond Mail.app's shortcomings.
Mynah is capable of automatically decoding messages in the following formats:
- MIME
- NeXTMail
- BinHex
- UUEncode
- NewsGrazer
In a message body, Mynah displays the filename of an attachment below the
icon. This makes it easy to locate your file when you drag & drop it into
another folder in Workspace.
When dealing with BinHex attachments, Mynah decodes the attachment into
AppleDouble format, making the data fork easily available. It also will
make the file appear to be a Macintosh file if the filesystem is visible
on a Macintosh (via a product like NFS/Share). [rewrite needed]
Mynah also has X-Face support, which will automatically decode and display
X-Face headers just like a normal face; uses the same AddressBooks that
the Workspace Manager and the Fax panel use; and has the capability to thread
mailboxes.
These are just some of Mynah's features. See below for more
features.
