[Techtalk] email via memory stick?

[Michelle Konzack]

Hi Anne,

Mybe you should download "smtp.exe"?  --  It is a DOS program programmed
AFAIK with DJGPP and Watt-32 (from Gisle Vanem).  With this you can 
send the messages with

  smtp.exe -t <message>

where smtp.exe read all the data from the headers in the message and
deliver it accordenly...

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
