Where could this be found ? Sound like something I'm looking for.
Only (and this is making me suspicious) what would be the (header)
format of this thingy ?
For instance, what precisely *is* a "glue header" ? Is there an exact
definition/description of the header format in the doc ? And is there
a means to change/adjust the (SMTP-relevant) header lines (eg., I would
need to ad specific "Content-Type:" and "Content-Transfer-Encoding:"
lines) ?
I ask all these questions because I feel more and more forced (and even
inclined) to - partly - re-invent the wheel and write a send-mail
script; "script", because it would be a script for the nifty socket
interpreter "netbas" (by Martin Goebbel), kind of an interpreter, with
basic-like language, to speak with the packet driver. I did this for a
fetch-mail function a while ago, and it serves well ever since (with
POP3 servers; it gives complete control, can be run in batch as well
as full manual, step-by-step mode. Whoever interested may mail me
off-list). Most important, it allows to fetch mail from different boxes
with one dial-up run; and I couldn't find a corresponding thing to
upload mails on that same run (on back of a loaded dosppp). "xmailn"
for instance, uses a peculiar and nowhere plainly reveiled header
format, and thus, creating mails for its use seems rather hopeless.
