Excuse me, but why do we need to "create" a WAIS e-mail interface?
It already exists...

Even if you do not have full access to the Internet, you can still
take advantage of aurora.latech.edu archives and WAIS via the
WAIS mail server. While this is a primitive tool compared to
interactive usage, it does work. To get information on using
the WAIS mail server, send a message to waismail@quake.think.com
with a body containing the single word "help". If you wish
to search the SUMMARY messages from sun-managers, you can use
the "sun-managers-summary.src" source.
