Good point - As I said in the annoucement posting, the mail interface routines
are a) undocumented and b) incomplete. With the very scant time resources I
have right now my choices were either to post where I've got to, or to sit on
it for a few more months trying to tie up these loose ends. As I'd already
committed a release to the net in mid-August I felt that releasing this code
fixed a number of outstanding problems. I'd welcome more comments on the mail
interface and noted problems, as there is a fair deal more to do around this
section of the code.
     
cheers,
