As I recall, list member Andre Garcia wrote a stack that would do  
this. Go to RevOnline and look for user soapdog.

Another alternative that ought to work very well would be to post  
your email message to a PHP document on a web server and use the PHP  
mail command to do the actual sending. The drawback, of course, is  
that you'd have to write a little php and have access to a web server  
that could host the script, not to mention an smtp server that would  
accept the message for sending. However, it's very simple to write,  
and Rev talks nicely with web-based resources like this.
