Actually I believe you can send multi-k messages just using the built-in
message.dll and appropriate calls; i.e. create_message(), add_recipient(),
add_field_text(), send_message().
It's the receiving part that is difficult because the Messaging API doesn't
provide for a way for user applications to read incoming email without
resorting to the packet level. Though it is my understanding that some
programs use the Database API to detect when new records are added to the
email database and they get the data that way. Otherwise you'll have to
snoop the incoming packets and do the IPS (Interactive Paging Service) packet
assembly; i.e. because raw packets are 512 bytes.
