I had kermit/2 scripts that interfaced both with SMTP and POP running
with Kermit/2 on my OS/2 box, and some
supplementary pdksh scripts to make a crude but working
set of command line e-mail programs.
I'll see if I can dig them up and e-mail them to you.
I learned a lot about e-mail writing them, though I'm certain
they can be improved on.
