Marsha, Are you familiar with Gophermail developed by Fred Bremmer? I
think it performs in a similar manner to what you described. You can send
a blank message to  a GopherMail server using e-mail and in return
receive the gopher menu which you mark indicating the items you wish to
see and then receive them back by e-mail and so on. Here are some
GopherMail server if you'd like to try it:
      gopher@calvin.edu
      gopher@join.ad.jp
