The purpose for this is for a user of my software to send an email to

of the SMTP server and since that will be different on each user's machine
and I don't know in advance what it is, her stack won't help me
unfortunately.
Any other suggestions? I can embed the information in the body of the
email instead of in an attachment so not hugely important. Or I could just
rewrite my app to run on iPhone/Android, then I could use the commands
provided by LC for those platforms:-)

You can expect unexpected problems using either SMTP or using revMail.
Port blocking may require the use of nonstandard ports for SMTP and not
everyone will have a desktop email client set up.
You could use an SMTP relay service and provide the address and
credentials yourself. Some SMTP relay services allow you to use
non-standard ports. Some of them are quite inexpensive for low volume
use, so that could help cover some scenarios if you're really determined
to use SMTP.
The server side script solution is far less problematic. You could also
look into a script that stores the info in a database and you collect it
manually.
Good Luck,
Warren
