It's UCB mail, but better (but not completely free, unfortunately; there
are weird restrictions on the license).  But, despite its license, I can
still get a Debian package for it and that's what counts :-).

You don't need to!

Here's one of my entries.  The key is the "mda" part; with this directive,
you can avoid having to run any servers.  You'll need procmail.  Take away
the "$HOME/.procmail/yahoo" part and procmail defaults to delivering to
/var/spool/mail.  (Also, you don't need the forcecr.  That's a qmail
weirdness.)  Of course, you'll want imap instead of pop3.

poll pop.mail.yahoo.com proto pop3 timeout 120 aka yahoo.com
		user robert:
	forcecr
	#limit 100000
	warnings 43200
	mda "exec /usr/bin/procmail -f '%F' THISISP=yahoo.com $HOME/.procmail/yahoo"
	fetchall
	to robert here

Reactive keyboard is software, not hardware.

mush allows me to go into and out of cbreak, mutt does not.  Reactive
keyboard starts when in canon mode and stops when in cbreak/raw mode.

I'll be sending out my Solstice message today.  Hope it works...
