I haven't tried sending or receiving with the program but you are correct.
It demonstrates the use of the aml.library which is an email API builtin to
AmigaOS3.5 as I understand it. I wonder if any developers/programmers are
considering the use of this library in their products. I believe there are a
few scripts or small programs that already use it for sending email. If I
understand the concept any program supporting the library (API) could send
email :) Now tell me if I am right or wrong :)
