Thanks to all those who commented on my post regarding an smtp/pop
mail transport for dos. A few followup comments:
I knew that there were shareware and commercial versions of this kind
of program, and that some mailing programs, such as arachne, incorporated
this functionality as part of a larger program. I was concentrating on
standalone, freeware programs that could be used with a separate offline
mail program.
Why this concentration? Im just not finding the combination of features
and reliability I want in one or more dos mailing programs. In particular,
Readmail is the only program I know that will undigest a mail digest on
the fly and will read multiple (even user defined) mail header formats
and convert them (if you want) to other user selected formats. I find this
EXTREMELY convenient for reading big digests. But Readmail is buggy
in a number of other areas, and it does not include mail transport.
Several people mentioned Netmail on Simtel. I should mention that
there are 2 programs with that name on Simtel. One is a shareware part
of Net Tamer and the other (nmdos200.zip) is a freeware program by
Mark Ressl. The latter requires outgoing mail to be in a 2-file format:
one file contains a message header, the other contains the message body.
Thus, like smtpop12 and some others, one needs to do some kind of
editing of the mail headers one starts with to get the kind of files
the mail transport program will accept.
