    Oh, trust me, I know quite well how easy SMTP is to use.  I also know POP3
and NNTP fairly well.  Haven't delved into IMAP yet, though.  However, that
isn't what I had stated.  Nono, I said *sockets programming*.  Telnet is still
handling the portion that I would not want to delve into, which is sockets.
;)

    Of course, in this example, I will have to omit the ending single . since
that might end my real message.  :)
