I have a vertical market application running on PCs that basically hides the
machine from the users.  Once the machine boots, all they see is my software.

I want to enable these people to send me electronic mail in a very simple
fashion, without having to write an e-mail package from scratch.

Question to the net:  Does such a package exist?  Can it run as a TSR that
does something like look for a particular filename, then dial a modem and
transmit?  What about the receiving part?  Cost is not an essential point, 
though cheaper while maintaining function is obviously desireable...

Please reply via e-mail, as I might miss followups.  I'll post the results.
Thanks.
