We could not find any way to correct errors on the To: line after hitting 
Enter to proceed to the Subject line.  The mail writing program seems to 
have its own line editor.  This is important for a dyslexic person.

Where would we look to edit or even write mails without using this program 
but with e3pi instead?   

I use DOS netmail for smtp/pop mail.  Fill in the .ini file (phone, 
comport, login, passoord, From) and then type the address on fhe first 
line, subject on second line, skip a line, message body, optionall an 
attachment on the last line, which is automatically encoded when it is 
sent.  Name the file mail1.out, mail2.out, etc.  Use any editor . Incoming 
mail is named mail1.in, etc.    Read with any editor.

Would anyone want to set up a script to write mail like this using e3pi?
You can also do /CC, send to multiple addresses with commas, and probably 
many other useful things.  I don't know how to write any but really simple 
scripts.

Netmail dials, connects, sends/gets mail, hangs up when done.
