Abstract
A uniform extension language for email systems can radically extend the utility of electronic mail, simplifying the construction of mail-based services and permitting the delivery of active messages that interact with their recipients and take differential actions based on the recipients’ responses. This paper describes such a language, Safe-Tcl, including the strong security and portability constraints it has to satisfy, and outlines its fundamental design. Keyword Codes: C.2.4, D.3.2, H.4.3

A new toolkit for X11 called Tk, implemented using Tcl, a lightweight interpretive command language, which allows applications to communicate in more powerful ways than a selection mechanism and makes it possible to replace monolithic applications with collections of reusable tools.
Active mail---a framework for implementing groupware

The architecture of Active Mail is described, some of its applications are presented, and the preliminary experience with it is discussed, to enable a groupware application to involve a new user in a way that is non-intrusive, tolerates delayed response, and requires little effort on the user’s part.
