Hi Robert, I did look at HaskellNet a few months ago.
It looked big and undocumented so I guess I got scared away. What I'd be interested in is something with the simplicity of the PHP mail command (or perhaps the phpmailer package). I dislike PHP as a programming language but it does basic web functions like outgoing email fairly well. Perhaps HaskellNet just needs more documentation and examples?
