 Description
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NetMail 95 is a mail program for Internet email.

 It supports the standard SMTP/POP3 protocols, and provides a low-level
 interface to email, making this program ideal for mail-bots and gateways.

 NetMail 95 provides flood protection, too, protecting from mail bombs.
 There is also a daemon mode that checks mail regularly, and exits
 on new mail.

 Finally, NetMail 95 supports the RAS (Remote Access Service), so it dials
 automatically your provider if a SEND/RECEIVE query is made.


 Requirements
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NetMail 95 requires Windows 95/98/2000/NT, and TCP/IP services installed.


 First time setup
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1) Create two directories, needed by NetMail for storing incoming mails,
    and reading outgoing messages. You could name them IN and OUT.

 2) Run NM95CFG. Most options are self-explanatory. The only option that
    deserves mention is the "Domain Name". This setting sets the HELO
    identification used in the SMTP protocol.


 Usage
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You can run NetMail 95 with these switches:

 NM95 [/send] [/receive] [/hangup] [/debug] [/tries:<n>] [/daemon:<n>]

      /send         Sends mail.
      /receive      Receives mail.
      /hangup       Hangs up modem connection.
      /debug        Turns debug mode on.
      /tries:<n>    Tries mail transfer up to <n> times on failure.
      /daemon:<min> Checks mail every <min> minutes; exits on new mail.


 Message format
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 NetMail 95 uses the UNIX .TXT/.WRK format to store emails.

 Each email is composed of two files with identical filename, but with .TXT
 and .WRK extensions.

 .WRK files are text files with this format:

        First line:   The destination server (Not used in NetMail).
        Second line:  The sender of the message.
        Next lines:   The recipient mail address(es).

 The .TXT files are text files containing the raw email message, as
 specified in RFC 822. Please read this RFC (Request for Comments) for
 details of this format.

 An example:

 The .WRK file:

        mail.sample.com
        mymail@sample.com
        yourmail@sample.com

 The .TXT file:

        From: My name <mymail@sample.com>
        To: Your name <yourmail@sample.com>
        Date: 01 Jan 98 12:34:56 -0300
        Subject: Hi pal!

        Hello!
