hello,
is it possible to use "upas" without relying on acme?
it might be uncomfortable (relatively speaking), but is it possible?

Hi,
Sure, no problem. Upas exports a filesystem, you can read it :-)
Although I use plan9port version of upas with acme and my client 'amail',
sometimes I use 9p to read, for example, a raw message body to send it to
spam analitics.
But reading messages is uncomfortable, it is true.

Yes. This is quite reasonable. To a first order approximation, `upas` is a
mail transfer agent, for mo

You're looking for nedmail(1), I think. Hopefully sl will chime
i apologise up-front for asking this on 9fans, but, how is acme and
plumber and all it's utilities (including upas) made to work under
non-plan9 systems via plan9port; on say something like linux or even mac
os x?
do they have some kind of user-level library which emulates 9p?

It doesn't emulate 9P (protocol); it is in fact the Plan 9 implementation.
The fan-in/fan-out of 9p connection is done by 9pserve (src/cmd/9pserve.c,
partially emulating the Plan 9 mnt driver. Servers publish a 9p endpoint,
and 9pserve is used to let multiple clients to establish 9p connections to
you can send mail with the mail command, just like traditional mailers.
reading mail: i use the same tool but envoked from faces(1) - right click on
the face of the person who sent the mail to read the message.
people tend to be very impressed with faces to this day. great interface.

On Plan 9, 'mail' is a shell script that invokes either nedmail(1) or
marshal(1), depending on the flags it consumes.

It's not clear why you think the interface provided by upasfs(4) is captive, or
why you insist acme needs to be involved at all. I'm writing this message with
