This is the announcement of the first public release of the mail tools. The mail tools are a set of programs to do various things with email, mostly in batch mode. The most important ones are `Semail' to send mails and `prmail' to process received mails (both written in GNU Pascal). The package also contains some generally useful units for GNU Pascal for sending and processing email, together with some demo programs, and some generally useful scripts related to mail handling. The mail tools are free software (GPL, LGPL). The current version of the mail tools can be found at <http://gnu-pascal.de/contrib/frank/programs.html>.
