That's interesting.  The document(s) describing SMTP (take your pick:
RFC821, STD0010, RFC2821) say that all the actual SMTP-command-parts
end with "CRLF" (Unix endings being "LF", and Mac endings being "CR").

Actually, it would be nice to know what SIMS expects for line-endings in
messages in:
   a) the Queue;
   b) the Submitted folder.

I suspect that SIMS is probably just looking for the "CR"; that would make
it work with messages that were _received_ from elsewhere (i.e., they
contain "CRLF"), and also for messages that were created on the mac (i.e.,
they only contain "CR").  Unfortunately for Joseph, it means Unix-style
line endings (i.e., containing only "LF") _won't_ work....
