Sorry, you're right. To make amends, I took a closer look at what you're
doing. I was able to duplicate your error by using setnet as you did. The
following solution should work:
user: 'username
service: 'mail.server.edu
set-net [ (rejoin [user "@" service]) (service) none none none none ]
Note that I ended up using literal words instead of strings for user and
service and removed your to-url stuff.
Apparently set-net expects literal words in these positions. If you replace
them values of type url, then send complains on attempting to open the port
(which happens in the second line of send's execution block). Of course you
can check that out yourself (if you want), with source send.
Hope this helps
