Mary Marcia Wior <address@hidden> described the package as follows:

Package: Huskey Grrl 
System name: huskeymail
Type: non-GNU

Description:
The goal of huskeymail is to create a simplified method of retrieving, 
processing, reading, and sending e-mail and usenet for newbie users of unixy 
systems like GNU/Linux and Mac OS X.  It\'s functionality will be limited to 
those tasks frequenlty performed by desktop users - fetching pop3 email, 
sending email, reading and posting to usenet, filtering spam from both email 
and usenet, sorting email into mailboxes.  It will be much simpler to use than 
the combination of fetchmail, procmail, sendmail, and rn that is currently 
required and is aimed at a new user who wants to try out unix. 

It will be split into two parts, a \"server\" and a \"client\" part.  The 
\"server\" will collect email and news, convert the news into mail, filter the 
messages, and send e-mail and posts.  The \"client\" will be worked on after 
the \"server\" is finished.  The goal for the \"client\" part is for it to be 
as easy to use as pine, but containing a layer of \'advanced\' features like 
\'ignore thread\'.  

It is hoped that after a painless experience with huskeymail, people will be 
more inclinded to try other, more advanced, free software. 

Huskeymail does not exist yet but I\'m working on it with help from Julian 
Krause (thecrypto).
