	<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
href="www.infradig.com/ipostie.htmlhttp://www.infradig.com/ipostie.html">www.infradig.com/ipostie.html</a>.

	These examples perform the most popular tasks (see POSTIE
	README.TXT for additional options/capabilities):

	<b>Email a single-line message (specified in the command):</b>
	POSTIE -s:"Test" -msg:"Message." -host:smtp.x.net -to:he@net
-from:me@net
	Subject       :	Test
	Message       :	Message.
	Host          :	smtp.x.net
	Receive addr  :	he@net
	Return address:	me@net

	<b>Email a text file as the message:</b>
	POSTIE -s:"Test" -file:X.TXT -host:smtp.x.net -to:he@net -from:me@net
	Subject       :	Test
	Message file  :	X.TXT
	Host          :	smtp.x.net
	Receive addr  :	he@net
	Return address:	me@net

	<b>Retreive the count and headers for new email:</b>
	POSTIE -host:pop.x.net -user:me -pass:passw -log:MSGS.LOG -br
	Host          :	pop.x.net
	User          :	me
	Password      :	passw
	Log file      :	MSGS.LOG (data is always APPENDED to existing file)

	<b>Retreive new email (leaving mail on server)</b>
	POSTIE -host:pop.x.net -user:me -pass:passw -log:MSGS.LOG
	Host          :	pop.x.net
	User          :	me
	Password      :	passw
	Log file      :	MSGS.LOG (data is always APPENDED to existing file)

	<b>Retreive Email (and delete retreived mail on server)</b>
	POSTIE -host:pop.x.net -user:me -pass:passw -log:MSGS.LOG -rm
	Host          :	pop.x.net
	User          :	me
