Interesting. Read a little about BlitzMail. MIT had Zephyr as an IM system which was kind of fun.

I miss the days of those old IM systems that I could write my own processing pipelines and UIs for. It's sad that in these walled garden days of Whatsapp, Wechat et al. that there is no way for me to programatically access my own incoming messages.

I was always impressed with Blitzmail's speed. It was certainly faster than any of the email clients I use/try out these days, or at least it seems that way in my memory.

Blitzmail was awesome. It was also used at Reed College.
