+  Some versions of the  "mail" and "mailx" programs can use IMAP and SMTP .
+  IMAP is required for reading email from the new ECE mail server.
+  The "mail" and "mailx" programs on the ECE Debian Linux computers have
+  been upgraded to the versions that are able to use IMAP.
+  The "/local/bin/mailx" program on the EECG Solaris systems can use IMAP.
+  The following template should be added to your "~/.mailrc" file to
+  read email from the ECE mail server with "mail" or "mailx".

+## "~/.mailrc" template for ECE mail server

+# Replace "LOGINNAME" with your login name (eg: peterp)
