You don't hold the files in MS' queue format, you hold them in RFC 822
raw, which then can be dropped into the pickup directory as desired.

Well,  that's  really  the  same  with the present architecture. We're
lucky  that  IMail uses the Q file, but we could just as easily create
it, as you note. An advanced Declude plug-in architecture would simply
be  loaded  as  a DLL, meaning that command-line data would instead be
passed as a function param.

No,  only  if  you  choose  to.  I have no problem retaining the recip
information in an off-line file.

There's  no  technical prohibition on HOLD or COPYTO equivalents under
MS SMTP. It just takes a specialized approach.

I  certainly  agree  with  you there! MS SMTP is so powerful that it's
amazing that MS "gives" it away.
