This is what I do in a batch file to send mail:
cd \YARN\SEND
C:\U95\unzip -o \YARN\send.rep
\YARN\vsoup -s -n smtp://login:password@mail.sever
Replace login, password, mail.server with what you need for
your set up.
To get mail:
\YARN\vsoup -n pop3://login:password@mail.server
To get news:
\YARN\vsoup -m -a -h CSNEWS nntp://news.server
CSNEWS in the directory that has the newsrc file in it.
