<pre>	<A NAME="SENDING EMAIL"></a><B>Sending Email (with "POSTIE")</b>
	----------------------------------------------------------------
	"POSTIE" is a free program which may be used by ECS to send/
	receive email (WITHOUT running your web browser). It may be
	downloaded at <a
name="www.infradig.com/ipostie.htmlhttp://www.infradig.com/ipostie.html">www.infradig.com/ipostie.html</a>.

	In general, the command to send a message is as follows, but more
	options are supported (see the POSTIE README.TXT for details):

		POSTIE -s:{subject} -file:{file} -host:{server}
			-to:{receiver} -from:{sender}

	where:
		{subject}  is the subject of the message
		{file}	   is the text file to send as the message
		{server}   is the outgoing email server
			   (refer to your web browser setup)
		{receiver} is the destination address
		{sender}   is the return address

	In the example:
		POSTIE -s:test -file:x.txt -host:smtp.x.net
			-to:mark@net -from:me@net
	The subject is "test", the message file is "x.txt", the host
	is "smtp.x.net", the destination address if "mark@net", and
	the return address if "me@net".
