Hi Rob,

>How many of you are using this library?

I am :) And very good it is too! I have been working on that e-mail client
which I detailed; but I am still brushing up the basic examples, so that can
be released to those who showed an interest. Sorry for the delay!

However; the emphasis has changed slightly on the package, in that it is more
than just a single E-Mail client. It is, in fact, my A-Level Computer Science
project; but I am still releasing it to the Amiga community.

All I can say is that it's an E-Mail 'kernel' and it can handle any skin of
any type; of any structure. The functions handled by the 'kernel' are minimal
POP/IMAP4/SMTP access and Encoding/Decoding of UUencode and Base64. It will
use ARexx to communicate to the 'kernel'. The actual client itself will manage
the e-mail storage, folders, searching, configuration - in other words all the
TCP and Attachments stuff is done by the 'kernel' and the E-Mail application
does /everything/ else.

That's the jist of it. The aim is to squeeze the kernel into a tiny file size
of about 50Kb and the RAM requirements to 100Kb. Hopefully. :)) It'll be a
mixture of Blitz and 68K Assembler...

All the best,

Nick Lamburn.
