Sending mail (invisibly) from inside a Mac LC app

[Alex Tweedly]

Might it be easier to access a URL rather than send an email ?
Have a server somewhere which can gather the data included and email it 
along to wherever it needs to go ?

(Or, to put it another way, I don't know how to directly answer your 
question :-)
