>>Perhaps I dont' exactly understand "draft".

>nor I.

>I guess draft means input now, save, quit, and then

>>However, I had never even considered that Ipswitch might offer
components.

>they haven't, yet.  What's requested is API to their Imail

>>My intention was to use ASPs and

and 
>>ASPPOP3 components for sending and receiving.

>>customer information is needed this works very nicely.  The
create/edit

>yeah, ime, it ain't worth it.  Edit the msg in a form TEXTAREA,

>>I had looked at

some 
>>clients want spell checking.  It works nicely but is a little tedious
for

works

>spell checking is great, but I see web messaging, when used an

>Web msging is great, but in most of the world with metered local
>calls, people don't spend any more time that is required in web
>messaging, probably.

>>I don't quite understand the need to use IMAIl's app exclusively

>There isn't, but I got the impressions the objective was to add
>"draft/send later" to Imail Web Messaging. I was pointing out that
>Imail web messaging is not very open just to HTML adaptations, let
>alone co-operating with add-on programs.
