An ARexx program which takes an Internet (RFC822) formatted note
and creates the necessary work files for an SMTP client to deliver
the original note. This program is primarily intended for use with
AmigaELM, but may also work elsewhere.

It uses an ARexx cliplist (built by the user) to insert an MX host
for given target hosts. It allows for carbon copies, blind carbon
copies, multiple recipient targets in a single line or over several
lines, and it keeps a one line log file entry for every note processed.
