muttzilla
=========

muttzilla allows the use with Netscape Communicator or Navigator of
mail and news programs other than those built into Communicator.  It
is compiled as a shared library and invoked by Communicator/Navigator
in place of Netscape's own mail and/or news clients.  The API
muttzilla relies on is available in Netscape Communicator versions
4.04 and above.  This mail and news API is also functional in more
recent versions of Netscape Navigator (4.6 and above).

I use it with mutt (hence the name), but just about any other mail
reader should also work.  Any news reader which allows passing the
server and group via the command line should also be fully functional.
Several example scripts are included in this distribution.  I
personally use the python versions, but the bash versions should
usually have similar functionality.

Most of muttzilla, particularly the library component (the C code), is
distributed under the terms of the LGPL.  Other portions may be
distributed under the terms of the GPL as indicated within those
files.
