James,
Contact me offline if you need info on ESEND. I've been using it at my

Why does the OP care? Are they trying to solve a problem, and need

Quite correct, Rob.
The internal email generation facility in our Wintouch product uses
QtmmSendMail, because it's built into the OS, and while it's clunky and
fragile, it's not quite as kludgy as using JavaMail (which is what we
did for a while).
But when we need to put email capability into installation-specific exit
programs, we usually try to use something a bit higher-level, and easier
to deal with, especially since we're usually asked to send attachments.
One of our customers, for which I wrote a packing-slip-emailer, uses
Gumbo Spoolmail, which works rather nicely for what they needed, and was
already present on their system.
But this new customer wants something a bit different, and E-Send is
what they already have installed.
At this point, probably all I care about is an unbiased assessment of
what E-Send can do, and if anybody is familiar with both products, an
unbiased comparison between E-Send and Gumbo Spoolmail.
But later on, I may need some pointers on implementation.
Thanks.
