Uh, that's news to me.
If you buy the POSIX option, then OpenVMS will act vaguely like a
POSIX-compliant operating system.
If you don't -- and not many do -- then you've got something that
doesn't vaguely resemble unix at all.

I can't picture it -- VMS mailboxes are record-based files, not text
files, so the port would be tricky. Pine's been ported, though, so
it's possible, although Pine also breaks in places where it tries
to apply unix concepts to an OS that is not Unix.
Oh, and DECnet's the default mail transport, btw :-)
