I hope to have Olympia back on-line soon.  Steve and I are making some
much-needed improvements to the game.  Stay tuned; I'll post an
announcement here when Olympia returns.  I'll also send a note via email
to all of the old Olympia players.

There is a PD mail tool called "Deliver" which can do this, I believe.

Get a mail feed to your home machine.  Then your email address needn't
change when your school or employer does, and you won't have to muck
with Subject: matching.  Even if you're running DOS, you can use uupc
(there are some other packages, too).
