	Unfortunately Metamail is not part of the Andrew User Interface
	System. It is a set of programs made available by Nathaniel S.
	Borenstein <nsb at bellcore.com> Member of Technical Staff, Bellcore
	and copyrighted by Bell Communications Research but made freely
	available. It is available from ftp.bellcore.com in the /pub/nsb
	directory as mm2.7.tar.Z and contrib2.7.tar.Z  There is quite a
	bit of documentation on the MIME standard there also.

	I compiled and installed all of this on my system with no problems.
	It sounds like your mailreader will use this if you do the same
	since it was already looking for it as indicated by the error message
	you included in your text. If not you may have to recompile your
	mail reader to handle calling the Metamail programs.
