Abstract: The Andrew Messaging System is built on the
        premise that mail is more than just text. Its
        important points are that it is a combined
        mail/bulletin board facility, and that it is
        multi-media. One can, for example, transmit line
        drawings, rasters, animations, and spreadsheets; ask
        for responses to a message via mail that asks its
        reader to select from a list of choices; and compile
        articles into magazines for further distribution on
        the bulletin board. Through the examples of how
        Andrew was actually used at Carnegie Mellon
        University, the authors leave a positive impression
        of what advanced email technology could offer.
