I'm very likely ignorant on that level if it does exist. I can see three possible solutions in this case:

Have each of the desktop clients use a web call to a local, secure web server that does the mailing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
