Unfortunately I am temporarily on WindowsNT only. I used PMMSend extensively
on OS/2. I suspect one could write this functionality into a script or executable
by putting a completed message in the outbox, adding it to the folder.bag file
and sending F5 to PMMail - I've never tried this though.

Would really be nice to have access to some of PMMails functionality through
an API programmatically.

BLAT does not handle authenticated SMTP or POP-SEND either.
