Using libSMTP to send an e-mail

I've had GREAT luck with the new version of Shao Sean's libSMTP, and 
dealt with the "Subject" issue recently.

For the Subject, just put "SUBJECT: xxx yyy zzzz"&return as the first 
line of your message, and things will work well. I think the other 
entities (e.g., "CC:") work the same way.

Your mail will appear with "xxx yyy zzzz" as the subject line.

The Shao Sean's script works better than the old HyperCard XCMD that 
I've used in my older software for a decade.

Good luck!
