800 readers -- `name' - `function'; `platforms'; `standards'

  note that `TCP/IP-based proprietary' often means that the package
  will grab messages via nntp or pop3 or imap, and keep them in a local
  proprietary database.  many of these packages can also work online.

  most packages will hand mail and news
