It is indeed a program that incorporates SMTPOP; however, with Barebones
you don't have to create a work file and a message file for each email
message. Barebones is very easy to use. No need to hassle with "glued
headers" and other such consternations. The disadvantage of Barebones is
that it is very sparse on features. What do you expect of an entire email
program that can fit on one bootable 360K floppy? Of its few features,
the small size of the program, and the fact that it works so reliably, are
the most commendable and admirable.

Sam,
What kind of headers does SMTPOP use on upload? Regular headers such as Arachne
or UKA_PPP uses? I remember trying to send messages with SMTPOP, got no error
message, everything looked OK, but the messages never reached their destination.
Does Barebones improve on SMTPOP?
What file format does Barebones download to? One file per message with cryptic
names of the form (8 digits).CNM, like SMTPOP, like Arachne/Insight?
I figured from the name that Barebones would just do SMTP upload and POP3
download. Do they still make 360K or 1.2 MB floppies? I don't think they make
360K or 1.2 MB floppy drives any more. Do they still make 720 KB diskettes
(3.5" low density) or 720 KB drives? I haven't been to Office Depot recently.
