| Manager, Editor and Navigator form the base interactive toolset for the single user mode. To implement efficiently the multi-user interactions, we need a point-to-point message passing protocol. The most natural choice is RFC-222 or simply -- e-mail and its MIME extensions RFC-1521 and RFC-1524. |
| Indeed, these protocols are part of the current Web technologies, they are open and extensible, and also we already use them on the day-by-day basis for person-to-person electronic communication. |
| WebMail makes the first step towards adopting e-mail and MIME as the base WebWindows communication models. It provides HTML+Forms interface to MH, similar to XHM or EXMH but fully Web based and of higher functionality, especially for large volume executive mail handling tasks. |
| WebMail toolset is organized as a domain-specific implementation of the HyperWorld navigation model and includes: hypermedia message editor and viewer, mail database navigator, dynamic folder cabinets, and multifolder refiling capabilities. |
