What is www4mail?

www4mail is an open source application, that allows you to navigate off-line and search the whole Internet via electronic mail (e-mail) by using any standard Web browser and a MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Exchange) aware e-mail program. E-mail messages sent to www4mail servers get automatically passed to your e-mail agent when you select (one or more) buttons that link to other Web documents within a requested Web page. There are many options available for user quota statistics, e-mail uuencoding reply, etc. A few of these are described in this Users Manual (see section How to use www4mail?).

Since 1998, the goal of www4mail has been to help bridging the digital divide and transfer knowledge to remote regions.

The www4mail code was written by Clement Onime in collaboration with Enrique Canessa in Trieste, Italy.

The Scientific Computer Section of The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy is acknowledged for supporting the www4mail project.

www4mail was one of the finalists of the 2000 Stockholm Challenge Award in the Equal Access category ;-)
