- You're illiterate looser if you can't read the documentation, which

-
- Normal users don't need to run POP _daemons_! And AmiPOP (POP _client_!)
- and simple [send]mail-ARexx script come with Voodoo, so one necessarily
- doesn't need more. And mbs's InetUtils with SMTPpost and SMPTd weren't
- included due some legal details, although every intelligent person with
- 'net access could easily get them from the nearest Aminet site. However
- if you mean that mail programs should include TCP/IP stack and dialer
- [builtin] too, I think that would be very stupid as people usually want
- to use other networking apps too and sharing the aforementioned things
- is much more efficient.
-
- PS. I still think IMAP support for Voodoo would rock... =8*>
