Hi Bob,
Yes.  The Telpac nodes have a very simple system for reading and sending
Email using the old PBBS/BBS commands like SP (send personal), LM (list mine)
RM (read mine) and KM (kill mine).

The minimal system works well for basic Emails.  The full system allows using
Eudora or equivalent for messages with attachements.  The best of both worlds.

Here's a note I recently published with a bit more detail and the command list:
