Description
-----------
Monsoon is a new MUI-based e-mail client for the Amiga. As well as standard
internet e-mail it also handles Usenet newsgroups and Fidonet point mail.
Full POP3, SMTP (e-mail) and NNTP (newsgroup) clients are built in, as is a
text editor. To use Monsoon for e-mail and news all you need is MUI and a
TCP stack. For fidonet use a fido mailer such as Trapdoor is needed.

there may still be some small bugs in the code.
