I got Lee' 'telnet' posting from ibiblio and it is in the December 
archive.  There are four postings from him in the November archive (about 
his problem in getting list mail).  He wrote me that he did not receive 
this posting so the problem would appear to be some place between ibiblio 
and wherever he is receiving his mail.  Is it being forwarded from gmail?

I am hoping Lee can come up with a small script that would replace the BL3 
mail program and run from CLI with some config file for entering your 
From, Reply-to and other info, if you type up the mail in a format 
including To:, Subject:, message body with attachment, or perhaps put that 
all on the command line:  sendmail $1 $2 $3 or the like and fetchmail 
similarly, or whatever people would like to have the scripts called.

binary attachments would need to be encoded/decoded somehow.

How nice to have a mail-freak in the group!
