This is a method for accessing and receiving gopher files by E-mailing
requests to a gophermail server. The server then replies with the file,
usually uuencoded if binary.

wwwmail servers also existed back in the day, but obviously in today's
landscape would be considered ripe for abuse and I don't think there are
many, if any, left anymore.
