Just a comment here, but does anyone else find it humorous
(wryly homorous, that is) that a PROPRIETARY mailer would
have a name such as "OpenMail" ??? :-/ 

'Course that's just my impression from the above post, not
knowing anything about OpenMail, but one could reasonably
infer, I think, that the aforementioned product is NOT an
"open source" product. :-)
