Where did you get the BL2 version?  Can Sylpheed be used from the command 
line to send mail?

I tried the telnet method of sending mail (telnet URL 25; ...; helo ...; 
mail from: me@.. ;  ....; rcpt to: them@....: -  'Please configure your 
mail client to use authorization'.

Can one authorize/authenticate mail sent via telnet as above?  (See the 
archive for details).  I made several wrong guesses trying to do this and 
cannot find info online.

David offered me his uclibc msmtp package, which I will try next.

Connecting to sdf to send mail also works, but I need to upload 
attachments first and once in a while sdf is down.  Webmail for 
emergencies.
