It works quite well. Thanks.

It's also very interesting, in that it apparently uses 
neither the QtmmSendMail API nor JavaMail; instead, it 
appears to use socket API calls directly, and essentially 
build everything from scratch. Thus, it doesn't require 
SMTP to be running on the same box, and (although our main 
mail server won't relay directly from it) probably doesn't 
even care what the SMTP server it connects to is running 
under.

He did it all in ILE RPG.

In ILE RPG that will compile and run under V4R4, maybe 
earlier.

I can only conclude that "uzaemon" did this as an exercise 
to see if it was *possible* to do it "the hard way" from 
RPG. In much the same way that, on another project, I 
wrote not one, but two, recursive-descent parsers in ILE 
RPG (albeit with ILE C scanners).
