Well, it looks like even the usenet archives are losing memory of the post I published on Usenet newsgroups about the WebMail. As they are part of the project, here they are:
First announcement on comp.infosystems.www.announce, just about the demo:
From: Luca Manunza <bilbo@crs4.it> Subject: SOFTWARE: WebMail, a www interface to e-mail Date: 10 Mar 1995 16:35:57 -0800 We have developed a WWW interface to POP3 that supports (almost) all the standard functions of a mail-reader like Eudora. An "active" demo can be found at <URL:http://www.crs4.it/~bilbo/WebMailDemo/> The demo is currently in italian, but you should get the idea. WebMail will be distributed to scientific and educational non-profit organizations anywhere in the world free of charge, however a licence has to be acquired. Send e-mail to bilbo@crs4.it for further informations. Luca Manunza <bilbo@crs4.it>
