Hello Geoff:
I believe that you are referring to a posting that I recently made.
I use SMTPOP.EXE, 57,392 bytes, dated 7-10-97. The documentation
file that comes with it and written by the program's author, Alfredo
Cole, makes no mention of a version number. This version is part of
the package included as a free download from James David Chapman's
site, http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~jchap/tvde.htm. Download
the Barebones DOS email system. You will find this version of SMTPOP
included in the self-extracting archive.
Please note:
In order to send mail by use of SMTPOP.EXE some kind of special
RFC-822 compliant header format must be used. Also the message must
have a file extension of ".MSG". Here is what a message, which I might
name ME2U.MSG might look like:

> T [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The message format shown in the example above is the same used with the
Barebones DOS email system. SMTPOP.EXE may be used instead as a
stand-alone program provided a suitable packet driver has been loaded.
I use NETDIAL.EXE by Marc S. Ressl and EPPPD.EXE.
