Scripting languages like Python, Perl, Ruby etc have libraries for both sending and receiving email, and parsing RFC2822 + MIME data. Those languages are mature on all relevant platforms, and all have good development tools. Why would you you a proprietary system when you can use a open (and free) system? Theo -- Theo v.
